This report sheds light on the representation of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) on television. We examine broadcast, cable, and digital platform television shows in the 2015–2016 season to measure the number of AAPI series regulars and how they fare in settings, screen time, relationships, stereotypes, and storylines. A total of 242 TV shows and 2052 series regulars are examined. This is a ten-year follow up study to our 2005 and 2006 studies of AAPIs in prime time broadcast television.
