Breaking News: Young Sheldon Season 7 Faces Uncertainty Amidst Actors' Fight for Fair Pay
Missy and Sheldon take a stand for fair pay, causing uncertainty for Young Sheldon Season 7 Discover the potential consequences of the ongoing actors' strike and the challenges it poses for the show's timely release
The potential for Young Sheldon season 7 to premiere in the fall diminishes due to the cast's response to the SAG-AFTRA strike. In a significant turn of events, the SAG-AFTRA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) were unable to reach an agreement before the deadline, resulting in a widespread halt in work for actors in the industry. This follows the previous Writers Guild of America strike that began in May 2023.
Actors Raegan Revord and Iain Armitage, who portray Missy and Sheldon respectively, express their support for the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike on their official Instagram accounts. Take a look at their posts below:
Armitage voiced his endorsement of the writers' battle for equitable and suitable compensation during the initial onset of the WGA strike by means of his social media updates. Conversely, Revord actively participated in one of the protests, alongside co-stars Lance Barber and Zoe Perry from Young Sheldon.
Why Getting Delayed Is Really Bad For Young Sheldon Season 7
CBS has confirmed that Young Sheldon will be delayed for season 7 as a result of the ongoing WGA strike. The network had originally hoped for a quick resolution to the dispute between writers and studios, but with no end in sight, the work stoppage will continue throughout the summer. This delay is particularly disappointing considering the season 6 finale and the show's status as the number one comedy on TV. Additionally, the possibility that season 7 could be the final season adds further frustration. If the show does premiere during the mid-season, it will have fewer episodes, potentially leading to rushed storylines or the abandonment of certain plot lines.
Both strikes may be resolved within the next couple of weeks, which would be ideal for getting Young Sheldon season 7 and other scripted shows back on schedule. Hopefully, the issues will be resolved, and both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA can achieve better working conditions and fair pay for their members.
