An adaptation or Continuity Reboot tweaks the cast so that the cast represents more groups. How this trope works largely depends on where and when it's set. Diversifying the cast can mean numerous things, from adding a more multiracial cast to having more explicitly queer characters. A lot of the time this trope is invoked to make a work more realistic. Percentages differ from place to place but a fair percentage of people are of a minority or marginalized group, such as sexuality, religion, or ethnicity, so it's expected that at least a few would likely be sprinkled about the cast. The original work may have been restricted by standards of the time, such as casting white actors for characters of color (often in blackface, brownface, or yellowface) or only being able to vaguely imply LGBT characters and only confirm them with author statements, while the newer renditions lack such restrictions. Other times it's due to a Setting Update. The demographic of areas change with time and social norms change. The newer versions of the work modernize it to fit with the times. In the case of a Foreign Remake, casts may be diversified to fit the different country's setting. A work must have at least 2-3 unrelated changes. If they don't, they go underneath their respective sub-trope instead. While Adaptational Diversity occasionally appeared before, it became widespread during the 2010s. May overlap with Adaptational Gender Identity, Adaptational Nationality, Adaptational Sexuality, Disabled in the Adaptation, Adaptational Curves, and Race Lift. A Gender Flip applied to members of a predominantly single-gender cast can also count. Compare More Diverse Sequel for when it's the sequel, not the adaptation, that is more diverse. Related to Legacy Character. This is also a common reason behind everyone is gay in fan-works, and for Watched It for the Representation. |

In Artemis Fowl, Butler and Juliet were changed from "Eurasian" in the booksnote unclear if this meant mixed European and Asian ancestry, or from Russia east of the Urals (which would make sense given Butler's first name) to black...which had some unfortunate implications given that the Butler family has a Legacy of Service to the very white Fowl family. Holly, described as having "nut-brown skin" in the books (though the graphic novels show her as a similar skin tone to Artemis), was played by a white actress, and Julius Root was changed to a woman (which completely negated the significance of Holly's Breaking the Glass Ceiling in the books, being the first female LEPRecon officer). | |

Dawn's father is gay in the show. He only ever dated and married women in the books. The client in the adaptation of "Mary Anne Saves the Day" is trans in the show, while she was not in the books. |

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a Setting Update of Pride and Prejudice, set in present-day America. Its source material is set in the Regency England (so everyone is presumably white, straight, and Christian and they all come either from the middle or the upper-middle class). The Bennetts are white Americans with Jewish relatives, Charlotte Lu and her family are Asian-American, as is Bing Lee and his sister Caroline, and Fitz Williams is gay and black. And Kitty Bennet, one of the younger sisters in the novel, is a literal kitty (Lydia's cat). Its loose sequel series Emma Approved also Race Lifts a few characters, with the Woodhouses, the Churchills, and Augusta Elliot, since Caroline acts as a Composite Character in her place being Asian, and Jane Fairfax being black. | |

The Shannara Chronicles: Eretria, a straight woman in the books, is bisexual here. In fact, she's with more women than men. Allanon is described as white-skinned in the books. Here, he's played by part-Maori actor Manu Bennett. The people of Leah are described as white-skinned in the books. They're all played by black actors on the show (although two of the show's characters are original). |

Riverdale: Several race lifts, such as Veronica and her family being Latino, Reggie and Dilton being Asian, and Weatherbee, Pop Tate, and Josie (as well as Josie's family) being black. All of these characters were white in the comics. Sexuality changes, including Cheryl being a lesbian and Moose being bisexual. Both of these characters were heterosexual in the comics. Due to this series being Darker and Edgier than its lighthearted suburban source material, quite a few characters are portrayed as mentally ill, notably several members of the Blossom and Cooper families. |

The National Theatre's 2014 production of Treasure Island significantly ups the diversity on several axes. In the original novel, nearly everyone is white and male; the play has actors and characters from several different ethnicities and approaches gender parity, with gender flips for protagonist Jim (in the play, it's short for Jemima) and Dr. Livesey as well as several lesser supporting characters. | |

Lady and the Tramp (2019) features characters such as Jock and the baby being female, Darling being played by biracial actress Kiersey Clemons, with her and Jim's baby by extension being multiracial, and Aunt Sarah being black. Pinocchio (2022, Disney) features a black actress playing the Blue Fairy, Gideon having an implied attraction to Honest John and the children who go to Pleasure Island consisting of both boys and girls, rather than firmly boys. Peter Pan & Wendy features the Lost Boys and pirates as being more diverse in relation to both ethnicity and gender and Tinker Bell is portrayed by a black actress of Iranian descent. The Little Mermaid (2023) features people of varying ethnicities, in some cases due to Colour Blind Casting, and rather than all of Ariel's animal sidekicks being male, Scuttle is now female. |

DuckTales (2017) is more diverse than the original. Not only are there more female characters in the main cast (one of whom becomes an amputee after a Life-or-Limb Decision), but LGBT characters are present in a small way. Two members of the supporting cast are the daughters of a gay couple, another is a confirmed lesbian, and major character Launchpad McQuack is now implied to be bisexual. Several characters that were voiced by white actors are now portrayed by minorities, and their characters are revamped to match. | |

Belly, her brother and mother are Korean American; Steven and Laurel, respectively, have their own storylines; Taylor appears in the present and her friendship with Belly is of import; Belly has female friends in the debs; original characters are added, mostly characters of colour; Jeremiah and Cleveland are both bisexual; and in Season 2, Jeremiah and Conrad's cousin, Skye, is non-binary. | |

Doraemon: Nobita's Drifts in the Universe does this with Commander Liebert's crew. The story itself is a Space Opera loosely inspired by Star Wars, with the Milky Way Drifting Fleet housing millions of humans, aliens, and robots, but in the original manga Liebert's soldiers and officers are all humans (probably meant to evoke the Galactic Empire from the original trilogy). In the anime adaptation, Liebert's crew contains humans and aliens in equal amounts. | |

Brave New World: The book didn't describe many New Londoners as being people of color. Here, they are nearly as common as white people. Additionally, it adds more women, and some male characters (such as Mond) are gender flipped as well. Mond is also given a race lift, becoming black. | |

The Umbrella Academy (2019): While the Hargreeves siblings were all Caucasian in the comics, the show makes Allison black, Ben Asian, and Diego Latino. Number Seven, a cisgender woman named Vanya in the comics, is here a trans man named Viktor, reflecting Elliot Page's transition. In addition, Cha-Cha is played by a black actress.note The character was never unmasked in the comics. Five's boss is now a woman,note As opposed to a male goldfish. and Diego's Friend on the Force is Eudora (a black woman).note Instead of Lupo (a white man). | |

She's Gotta Have It: Two of the main cast (Greer and Mars) are made biracial here, which isn't the case in the original film. Opal and Clorinda seem to be biracial (like the actresses) as well, though it's not stated, and some minor biracial characters were introduced too. A couple minor White characters are introduced additionally. Nola is pansexual now as well. In the original film the cast was entirely Black, and she's straight. | |

In this series, the teens discover their sexualities as part of their arcs, the Hork-Bajir practice polygamy, and there are a few transgender characters. The humans' religious beliefs, which were only mentioned in passing in canon, are given much more focus. Cassie and her parents were the only black characters in canon, but this series introduces a few original ones as well. |

Ask the Famous 8!: The original books and television series this is based on did not feature any of these, being written at a time when such were considered taboo. Since the engines are now humans and the story takes place in the present day, sleepyhenry decided to include these changes to reflect the diversity of the modern world. The majority of the cast, including the titular "Famous 8", are of non-white minorities, with a few being mixed-race. In addition to this, there are multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including seven of the Famous 8. | |

Mean Girls (2024): The film's original main cast was almost entirely white; here, Janis, Damian and Karen are all portrayed by people of color, and Janis is explicitly queer rather than being Mistaken for Gay. While Damian was the only explicitly gay character in the first film, this version features a number of same-sex relationships among the background characters, as well as students dressing in gender-nonconforming ways, demonstrating the increased prevalence and overall acceptance of queer youth. |

The Power (2023): The series has more explicit minority characters than were in the books. Although her race is not stated, Jos was presumably white in the book. Here, she's half Latina, as her dad is Latino, which also goes for her siblings. In accord with this, Jos' last name has been changed to Cleary-Lopez (not just Cleary) as she gets her Latino dad's last name as well. Roxy's now bisexual, whereas in the book this wasn't shown to be the case. The nuns who take in Allie here include women of color, their leader Sister Veronica (who's Asian-American) most prominently. Sister Maria is also a trans women. While possible, there are no such details in the book. Further, they are renegade Catholics who broke off from the mainstream Church due to being LGBT-affirming (see Sister Maria). In the book, they are still part of the mainstream Church. |

The 2000 film adaptation of Love's Labour's Lost, directed by Kenneth Branagh, feature a genderflipped Holofernes, renamed Holofernia, and a black Maria and Dumaine. While Branagh had engaged in Color Blind Casting prior to this, the inclusion of a Gender Flip marked his first foray from simple Race Lift to Adaptational Diversity (aftr all this trope is NOT just race lifts), beating his Hercule Poirot series by seventeen years and is perhaps the first case of a major Shakespeare adaptation to use this trope. | |

The Jem and the Holograms (IDW) reboot comics are diversified compared to the 1980s cartoon. The original cartoon had body type limitations largely due to it being a Merchandise-Driven cartoon for a doll line, but the comic doesn't have this restriction so characters have a wide range of body types. Various characters are also given Race Lifts and there are more explicitly queer characters than in the source (for example, Stormer and Kimber do away with their Pseudo-Romantic Friendship and become a straight-up couple). | |

The DC Extended Universe: The traditionally Caucasian Perry White is portrayed as black (by Laurence Fishburne) in Man of Steel. Aquaman (Jason Momoa) as Half-Maori and the Flash (Ezra Miller) as being Jewish. Both had an Early-Bird Cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Flash being Jewish is indirectly mentioned in Justice League. In addition, the traditionally white Mercy Graves is portrayed by a Japanese actress, the Snyder cut establishes Iris West as being black and Lex Luthor has some form of mental disorder.

Power Rangers (2017): A few race lifts (avoiding the original show's implications in casting the Black and Yellow Rangers as black and Asian) — although Jason is now clearly white instead of ambiguously so, Kimberly is now biracial Indian/Caucasiannote as opposed to white, Billy is black and autisticnote also as opposed to white, Trini is Latina and Ambiguously Gaynote as opposed to Asian, and confirmed LGBT by Word of Gay and Zack is Asiannote as opposed to black. | |

Wonder Woman: The original comics had only one black Amazon named Nubia. Ever since the George Perez reboot, the Amazons have been depicted as being more racially diverse, with some Amazons of African, East Asian and Middle Eastern descent. In Wonder Woman (Rebirth) the oft speculated but never confirmed sexuality of several major Amazons finally makes it into the books, with Hippolyta and Diana being confirmed bisexual when all their prior romantic interests had been men and Philippus, first introduced in Vol 2, being in a longstanding loving lesbian relationship with Hippolyta. The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016) is a retelling and adaptation of Wonder Woman's World War II-era adventures, but while both the Holliday Girls and the Amazons were all white in the original comics here both groups of ladies are far more diverse, with two of the named Holliday Girls getting Race Lifts from their original white counterparts. Wonder Woman: Earth One features a strongly implied to be bisexual Etta Candy (renamed Beth), a black Steve Trevor, and a dark-skinned Artemis the Amazon. Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed splits Steve Trevor into a gay couple consisting of Asian-American Steve and African-American Trevor and portrays Etta Candy as a Polish immigrant by name of Henke Cukierek. |

The 2021 version of West Side Story, especially compared to the 1961 version: In contrast to the original's brownface casting of the Puerto Rican characters, they are played Latinos of various ethnicities this time around. Anita is also explicitly Black in addition to Puerto Rican in this version. Anybodys is reimagined as a trans boy instead of a cis tomboy. The role of Doc (a kindly older white man) is given to a new character, his Puerto Rican widow Valentina, with Doc himself dying prior to the story. |

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles features a black April who requires glasses. This is possibly downplayed in regards to the race lift due to disagreement between Eastman and Laird, the former saying April was supposed to be mixed-race and the latter saying she is Caucasian. |

In the original comic all of Big Hero 6 was Japanese. The Disney film Big Hero 6 changes the setting to the more multiethnic San Francisco (or "San Fransokyo" as it's called due to the series' Alternate History). Only Hiro retains his Japanese ancestry and even then he's half-white. Wasabi is African-American, Gogo is Korean, Honey Lemon is a dark-skinned blonde Latina, and Fred is Caucasian. The body types are also diversified more. | |

In the manga, the staff of the Baratie consists entirely of humans. In this series, at least one Fishman is among the crew. In the manga and anime where the characters are drawn in a similar manga-style, the show has various villages or Marines have background characters that are of different nationalities, skin colors, and sexes. |

Bridgerton: In the book, of course the main and supporting characters are all-white since it's Regency-themed. But in the show, due to race lift, the actors playing the important characters are black or biracial (Queen Charlotte, Lady Danbury, the Basset family and Marina Thompson Crane), South-Asians (the Sharma family) and other non-whites. Some characters are gay and lesbian. | |

Additionally, while the original cast were all straight, there is now a lesbian character, while another is a trans man. Of the white characters, Noah is a trans boy and Mildred has a malformed left hand. Two more minor women of color in the cast are lesbians too. It also turns out that Isaiah's son is gay.

In the original She-Ra: Princess of Power, the cast was predominantly white. In the reboot, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, the cast is much more diverse (or at least are based on a more diverse set of Earth ethnicities, helped that most of this is caused by Actor-Shared Background) — Glimmer is Asian (possibly biracial, due to her mother Angella now being Indian and her paternal family members now being east Asian), Bow is black, Perfuma is Latina, Mermista is Ambiguously Brown (implied to be Southeast Asian), Netossa is lesbian and in a relationship with Spinnerella. Even the title character enters a relationship with Catra, her childhood friend and longtime rival, in the final season. On another level, Entrapta is confirmed to be Autistic. The characters' body types and ages are also more diverse compared to the original, which had most if not all as hourglass-shaped young women. Additionally, the reboots introduce Bow's parents (who have never even been seen or heard of in the original), who are a gay couple. | |

The first Twilight film made Bella's human friends more diverse, with Angela made Latina, Eric as Asian, and Tyler now black. In the books, they're all white. As well, the films did away with Stephenie Meyer's claim that all vampires, regardless of original ethnicity or race, become pale white. In the films, the secondary vampires are fairly diverse. | |

RWBY: Scars features more queer and disabled characters than in canon. The titular team alone has been changed: Ruby is a female-attracted asexual trans girl (as opposed to a presumably cisgender Celibate Hero), Weiss is lesbian and mentally ill (instead of male-attracted and likely not mentally ill), Blake is noted as bisexual early on, and Yang is explicitly bisexual from the start. The characters are also given slightly clearer defined ethnicities than in the Mukokuseki show due to more emphasis on Fantasy Counterpart Culture, so three out of four members of RWBY are at minimum half-Asian coded. | |

The Magnificent Seven (2016) has a much more diverse cast than the original film. Not only is the team led by a black Union officer but they have Native American, Asian, (mestizo) Mexican and white members in addition to having a female ally that brings them together to take down the robber baron. The difference is also in the people being subjugated, going from a poor Mexican pueblo to an American mining community. | |

Inverted for Frank Miller's RoboCop, the comic adaptation of Miller's original RoboCop 2 script as Murphy, Lewis, and Reed are the only ones who still looked like the actors who played them. This resulted in two of the cops, Whittaker and Estevez (played in 2 respectively by a pre-The District Roger Aaron Brown and soap opera actress Wanda De Jesus) becoming two white guys. | |

The novel The Handmaid's Tale has an all-white cast because the Gilead regime was explicitly white supremacist, and had all black people Released to Elsewhere; the Hulu adaptation dispenses with this aspect in order to avoid Monochrome Casting. A number of significant roles (Moira, Luke, and his and June's daughter Hannah, Nick, Rita) are played by actors of color; there are also actors of color among the smaller roles and extras, especially the Handmaids and Marthas. In addition, Ofglen (named Emily in the series) is shown to be a lesbian, which isn't mentioned in the book (although Moira being a lesbian is book canon). We also see some black Commanders and Guardians (though in the background mostly). | |

Y: The Last Man (2021): The series addresses the question "what about trans men?" and adds one to the main cast, named Sam (he's a friend of Hero) along with other minor ones, with the title becoming more specifically about the last cisgender man. In a brief shot we see that another friend of Hero and Sam, a trans woman, had died in the plague too, since anyone who had a Y chromosome was killed. In the comics, while trans characters did exist, they were minor and this question was not explicitly addressed. This allows a deviation from the comics of women stunned to find a living man. In episode 5, Yorick is able to pass himself off as transgender with some refugees (who even offer him "testosterone if you need it"), and he and 355 realizing it's a good disguise. Dr. Mann emphasizes how thanks to the quirks of genetics, "millions of women dropped dead who never even knew they had a Y chromosome." Thus intersex people also get mentioned, unlike in the comic, such as those with androgen insensitivity (people with it can appear and identify as female but have a Y chromosome). |

Once Upon a Time introduces a lot of diversity to classic fairy tale characters. The Evil Queen is played by a Latina; Mulan, Red Riding Hood, and Dorothy become bisexual; the Fairy Godmother, Rapunzel, Ursula, Merlin, Lancelot, Poseidon and Jekyll's butler Poole (reimagined as an orderly) are black; Guinevere is Spanish; Jafar is at least Half-Indian initially; Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk was a woman and Jekyll requires glasses. In the seventh season, where new incarnations of characters appear, these include a Cinderella who is Latina and an Alice who is lesbian. | |

Masters of the Universe: In the original She-Ra: Princess of Power, the cast was predominantly white. In the reboot, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, the cast is much more diverse (or at least are based on a more diverse set of Earth ethnicities, helped that most of this is caused by Actor-Shared Background) — Glimmer is Asian (possibly biracial, due to her mother Angella now being Indian and her paternal family members now being east Asian), Bow is black, Perfuma is Latina, Mermista is Ambiguously Brown (implied to be Southeast Asian), Netossa is lesbian and in a relationship with Spinnerella. Even the title character enters a relationship with Catra, her childhood friend and longtime rival, in the final season. On another level, Entrapta is confirmed to be Autistic. The characters' body types and ages are also more diverse compared to the original, which had most if not all as hourglass-shaped young women. Additionally, the reboots introduce Bow's parents (who have never even been seen or heard of in the original), who are a gay couple. Masters of the Universe: Revelation features a black King Grayskull and Mer-Man and Trap Jaw both losing an eye during the events of the series. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021) features a black Teela and Stratos and a gender-flipped version of Ram Man. |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): In the books, Louis de Pointe du Lac was white and born in France in 1766. In the show, he is a black man born in New Orleans in 1877. The TV version also makes him explicitly gay, whereas the character in the source material had feelings for a woman named Babette Freniere. Claudia also becomes a black girl, while she was white originally. In the novels, Armand was Caucasian and an Eastern Orthodox Christian, while his TV counterpart is Muslim and played by an actor of Bangladeshi descent (the character's exact ethnicity is not specified in Season 1, although there's a hint that he might be a Crimean Tatar). |

The Wheel of Time (2021): Alanna's Warders here are in a relationship with her and each other. They were not shown to be queer or polyamorous in the books. Stepin also casually mentions that he would be open to sex with them when proposing becoming Alanna's Warder, albeit saying that it would be his first time with a man. In the books, Moiraine and Siuan were temporarily involved while Novices but later only friends, with this portrayed as just a way to relieve youthful libidos. Here, they maintain a passionate (though also secret) relationship well into adulthood. The book character of Siuan has pale skin and blue eyes. Here, she's played by two Black actresses (for her child and adult versions). |
