"The moment a fair deal is in place, we'll get back to kicking ass." "These aren't fun times, but it's unfortunately necessary," Hurwitz wrote on Twitter. Co-creator Jon Hurwitz said on May 2 that pencils are down in the writers room and there are no writers on set. Netflix's martial arts comedy-drama Cobra Kai is on pause due to the writers strike. "Northern Ireland Screen is extremely disappointed that Blade Runner 2099 is not going ahead at this time due to the ongoing writers’ strike," said the film distributor. Blade Runner 2099Īmazon Prime Video's Blade Runner 2099 series was due to begin production at Northern Ireland's Belfast Harbour Studios but Deadline has reported that the series could now be delayed by up to one year as a result of the Writers Strike. It's unclear if the delay will change the current release date of Sept. Pre-production work on the Mahershala Ali movie has been halted due to the strike. The only movie to be formally delayed thus far is Marvel's Blade, which has already experienced many setbacks during its production. The Netflix animated series Big Mouth was six weeks into writing its eighth and final season, but it has since paused due to the strike. They are fighting for a living wage in the streaming era, says Abbott Elementary writer who calls the industry a "gig economy," where studios prioritize Wall Street, not workers. Hollywood screenwriters of are going on strike. In an interview with Democracy Now, writer Brittani Nichols said that the strike could impact the number of episodes the writing room can create for the upcoming season. The writers room for the third season of the Emmy-winning show Abbott Elementary was supposed to convene on May 2, but that room has closed. The prequel series is based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg, which was officially unveiled for Max (formerly known as HBO Max) last month. Martin, who stands with the WGA and its demands, said that the writers’ room for spinoff series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight “has closed for the duration” of the strike as the team has hit the picket lines. Martin provided an update on all of the Game of Thrones series in development on May 8 via an online blog post. You can find a list of TV shows and films impacted by the writers' strike (that we know of) below.ġ6 Images A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight (Max) Martin recently said that, since scripts for the season were finished months ago, the production is in the hands of the directors and crew now. Work will also continue on House of the Dragon Season 2 George R.R. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, for example, is moving forward with Season 2 production, but its own showrunners will not be on set. Some shows, meanwhile, are continuing production despite the strike. The work of writers doesn't end once the script is finished, meaning many production schedules are in a limbo state. With writers no longer working, several scripted productions have shut down their productions for various reasons: some are still in the writing stages and thus can't move forward, others need writers on set, and some just have the crew standing in solidarity with the WGA. The WGA says that the rise of streaming has resulted in a bevy of concerns for writers and producers, including less pay, less protections, and a concerning use of artificial intelligence in the writer's room. The WGA has been negotiating with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), who bargains on behalf of most of Hollywood's production studios, to create a new contract that will fairly reflect the changing media landscape. Writers have been picketing at locations across Los Angeles and New York City for over a week now in order to gain leverage in the negotiating room.
