British TV network ITV is no longer ordering homegrown comedies from all-male writing teams, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The move, announced Monday by ITV controller of comedy Saskia Schuster, aims to get more female comedy writers in writers rooms for sitcoms and other comedy fare.
"I won't commission anything with an all-male writing team," Schuster told Channel 4's Diverse Festival in Bradford, England, according to a report from BBC News.
ITV, which broadcasts the hit reality series Love Island, is also known for such comedies as Bad Move, Timewasters, Celebrity Juice and Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule.
