Since the early 2000s, there has been a lot stirring in Hollywood as many actors and writers have been fighting for better pay and other conditions from the production studios. Recently, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have announced they’re going on strike, making history, as this is the first time in decades that they’ve gone on strike simultaneously.
The WGA has been on strike since May 2023, and the SAG-AFTRA went on strike in early July 2023. Down below, is a list of most of the productions that have been shut down or delayed due to the two ongoing strikes. Want to know the list of productions halted?
