While the new series seems determined to put more women and people of color in front of the camera, it also seems to be diversifying its creative talent.
SJ Clarkson will direct the pilot episode of the upcoming series, a task she's well suited to thanks to considerable TV experience.
The British filmmaker has previously directed the Jessica Jones pilot for Netflix, as well as episodes of Orange Is The New Black, Bates Motel and Dexter. She'll also direct the next Star Trek film, which is currently untitled.
The lack of women and people of color on the original series has been a major source of criticism since it's inception. Viewers and critics have also lambasted the series for it's treatment of female characters and multiple story lines featuring sexual violence.

Though the Game Of Thrones prequel now has a creative team and cast, it still lacks a title.
Creator and author George R. R. Martin, 70, has suggested The Long Night as his preferred title, but the show has yet to settle on a name.
The series will be set thousands of years before the events of Game Of Thrones, when many of the royal families fans have grown accustomed to didn't even exist.
The series still hasn't been ordered to series yet, but if it is, the earliest we'll see more of Westeros would be 2020.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
