Several Hollywood productions have been affected by the national strike that the scriptwriters have been complying with since last May 2, 2023. Among the demands demanded by the Writers Guild of the United States (WGA) are greater stability, guarantee of their work before artificial intelligence, salary increases, shorter exclusivity offers, to name a few. .
Although their requests are fair, the audience counts down to see their favorite series and movies, but due to this measure, many of them would suffer a delay. Which are? Next, we mention them to you.
STRANGER THINGS
Filming for season 5 of “Stranger Things” will stop until the strike ends, the Duffer brothers announced. “Writing doesn’t stop when we’re filming (…) and that’s why it’s not possible to continue during this strike. We hope that a fair deal can be reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then, over and out.”they wrote on their social networks.
“COBRA KAI”
“Cobra Kai” was another of the productions that announced via Twitter that they would pause the series that will launch its sixth edition. “We hate to strike, but if we must strike, we will strike forcefully. Pencils downstairs in the ‘Cobra Kai’ writers room. There are no writers on set. These are not fun times, but sadly it is necessary. The moment a fair deal is settled, we’ll be back to kicking ass. In the meantime, we send strength and support to the negotiating committee.” wrote his co-creator Jon Hurwitz.
“AMERICAN HORROR STORY 12: DELICATE”
Because “American Horror Story 12: Delicate” was being filmed for the second day, a group of protesters came to the studios to protest and show themselves against the decision they made. After that, everything stopped.
“HOUSE OF THE DRAGON”
The second installment of “House of the dragon” should start filming, something that would happen anyway, taking into account that before the start of the strike, the scripts had already been delivered in their entirety, at least that’s what sources from the production of the HBO series. Otherwise, they would also suffer a delay.
“THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER”
Despite the fact that two of the showrunners (JD Payne and Patrick McKay) of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” joined the strike, Amazon Prime went further and decided that it will finish shooting the series without the presence of both on the set, which is equivalent to the last 19 days of recordings.
“ANDOR”
Although the showrunner Tony Gilroy thought to continue with the production work of “Andor”, despite the announcement of a strike, he declined his position after being harshly criticized; therefore, he suspended what was related to activities such as writing and filming.
“GOOD OMENS”
“Good Omens” is ready, but since its writer Neil Gaiman supports the strike, he has been blunt in pointing out that as long as his action continues, he will not promote the second season, which will arrive in July on Amazon Prime.
YELLOWJACKETS
Work on the third installment of “Yellowjackets” has been halted until the strike is lifted. When will this happen? The moment the union gets a fair deal, co-creator Ashley Lyle said on Twitter.
“ABBOTT COLLEGE”
While the writers’ strike lasts, season three of “Abbott College” not only paralyzed everything, but there is a risk that the new installment will shorten its episodes, since the scripts are written while the television series is broadcast.
