For example, The Mandalorian.
Favreau hired two female directors in Deborah Chow and (first time director) Bryce Dallas Howard. Chow directed two episodes and Howard one episode while the other five episodes were directed by Dave Filoni, Rick Fumuyiwa and the great Taika Waititi.
While the finale was my favorite episode, Chow's 7th episode is a close second and all of the episodes were masterfully directed, IMO. And while Favreau and KK hired more male directors for Season 2 (I'm stoked to see Peyton Reed's work), they hired very capable directors who had a vision for the series and each episode.
It's very, very competitive and difficult to become a true Hollywood director and while Howard had some help, Chow did not. But as time moves on, we'll see more and more female directors fail and succeed because there's finally a climate in which they're allowed to fail and succeed.
