Hollywood actors stage strike: Popular TV shows and films that might get delayed

Thousands of Hollywood actors are staging a strike — for the first time in 43 years — after talks failed between the US actors’ union Sag-Aftra (Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) — a body representing leading studios, over better compensation and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the film industry.

The move is likely to affect the production of several shows and delay the release of films in the US.

What are the shows/films that will be affected by the strike?

According to Reuters, the actors’ strike would stop all production and scripted television shows in the US and only independent productions would be running.

Production of dramas and comedies in Los Angeles has already come to a stop, as per FilmLA, which issues film permits, the report added.

Shows

Hit web series like Stranger Things and The Handmaid’s Tale, which were affected by the film and television writers’ strike, are now expected to witness further delays in production.

According to Deadline, TV shows that are likely to be impacted by the strike include Andor, House of the Dragon, Industry, The Palace, and Day of the Jackal. The second season of Bad Sisters may also not be able to start shooting.

Night Court reboot, Chicago Med, Fire and P.D, NCIS and Young Sheldon and Family Guy and The Simpsons —- these shows might get affected due to the strike, reported BBC.
