IMDb Overhauls Credits With 12 New Categories, Including Dubbing and Intimacy Coordination

Developed with guild input, the overhaul improves recognition for roles previously buried under “additional crew”.

Overview

  • The update moves roles such as choreography, intimacy coordination, puppetry, craft services, and property into distinct categories.
  • IMDb now lists 45 professional credit categories across film and TV.
  • Existing entries are being migrated to the new taxonomy, with completion targeted for Nov. 9 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
  • Dubbing performers can claim credits in English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
  • The redesign followed consultations with SAG-AFTRA, the Choreographers Guild, Colorist Society, IATSE Locals 161 and 871, NAVA, and the Property Masters Guild, drawing public praise from union leaders.
