The Pittstar Isa Briones has credited her “Black and brown” co-stars with the show’s success, after their noticeable absence from Variety’s Women of Emmys Season cover story sparked criticism.

Briones, who is half Filipino,stars in the hit HBO medical drama about an underfunded Philadelphia hospital.

In preparation for next week’s Emmy nominations, of which The Pitt is expected to land several, Briones and her two co-stars, Taylor Dearden and Katherine LaNasa, graced the cover of Variety’s latest magazine issue celebrating the women of Emmys season.

The cover, published Thursday, has generated intense backlash for highlighting two of the show’s white female actors over the show’s many Black and brown leads.

“Choosing to not include any of the black or brown women that played equally important roles in the show is definitely a choice,” one fan commented.
