Breaking: WGA Writers Strike Hits All Your Favorite Shows - Full List!

The ongoing 2023 WGA Strike has had a significant impact on the world of entertainment, particularly in the realm of TV shows. Late-night daily broadcasts were the first to be affected by the strike, followed by the disruption of production for various streaming series. The demands of WGA members have not been met, leading to widespread picketing by writers across the country. This strike is the largest in 15 years, with no resolution in sight. The consequences of the strike are far-reaching, affecting major franchises for studios and platforms such as Disney, Netflix, and Amazon. Despite the magnitude of the situation, an agreement seems elusive. One of the key reasons for the production delays is the dispute over contractual terms, including the desire for residual payments based on viewership, higher salaries, and stricter regulations on AI scriptwriting. Another major point of contention is the proposal that requires studios and companies to have a specific number of writers on board during production and post-production. While some series, like House of the Dragon, have managed to complete their scripts, the failure of the AMPTP to address the WGA's demands for financial compensation and job security has had an immediate impact on the current seasons of other scripted shows.

Disney Shows Impacted By The 2023 Writers Strike

The 2023 Writers Strike has taken a toll on Disney+'s biggest franchises, causing delays for both Star Wars and MCU shows. Specifically, two returning shows from the Star Wars side, The Mandalorian's fourth season and Andor's second season, have been forced to halt production. On the MCU front, fans will have to exercise patience as they await the solo series of two new heroes within the expansive universe. Daredevil, who made brief appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, was set to continue his story in the MCU with Daredevil: Born Again, but filming was interrupted due to the strike. Additionally, the production start for the first season of Wonder Man, featuring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, was also delayed. This strike by the WGA could potentially lead to significant cost-cutting measures for Disney, as reported by Variety.

Every Netflix Show The Writers Strike Has Delayed

The impact of the 2023 Writers Strike on Netflix is particularly evident in its biggest title, which happens to be the most popular franchise on the streaming platform. Stranger Things, which was about to commence filming its final season, has been significantly affected. Fans eagerly anticipating Stranger Things season 5 were left disappointed by the delay, intensifying their anticipation. In response to the strike, the Duffer brothers promptly issued a statement expressing their support and confirming the suspension of production. They emphasized the impossibility of filming without the ability to write. Another series that has been postponed is the first season of Zero Day, featuring Robert De Niro. While the Writers Guild of America fights for fair remuneration for writers, Netflix executives are in line for $20 million bonuses (via Far Out).
