This marks the first time since 1960 that both unions are on strike simultaneously, and SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher (“The Nanny”) told USA TODAY that members are in it for the long haul. “It’s major. But we also see that we have no future and no livelihood unless we take this action.”

Plenty of shows are still in the pipeline, and movies are produced even further in advance. Streamers like Netflix operate with longer lead times, and won’t feel the pain until late this year or early 2024. We answer your burning questions about the Hollywood strikes affect your favorite TV shows.

  1. Weve watched bad over paid actorsclike affleck. Movies crap! Hollywood dream a nightmare for us paying to watch bad movies lousy acting. Bye keep walking

  2. The movies & shows have been full of woke crap and terrible writing for years, they made themselves easy to replace.

  3. Most everything on TV/cable, movies hasn't been worth a damn for the last 20 yrs. If they were to start producing something worthwhile, I might support their cause,but not currently.

  4. 🇺🇸•*•Seeing this moment MAKES ME SO HAPPY that EVEN HOLLYWOOD 🎥 A•LIST PROFESSIONALS + EMPLOYEES ARE “STICKING IT TO THE MAN” (i.e. Greedy • Wealthy Hollywood 🎥 Multi•Billion + Trillion Dollar Production Corporations)•*•🇺🇸 ** THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN 🇺🇸 ** ☮️☮️THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO EXERCISE •• WHILE PROTECTING OUR DEMOCRACY + HUMAN RIGHTS**ESPECIALLY* HUMAN DECENCY☮️☮️•*•🇺🇸

  5. What a bunch of commies

  6. Every script has felt Ai written for a while now, whats gonna change when these copy pasters are gone?

  7. The first results of the NATO summit have become known. At this summit, Biden allowed the supply of cluster munitions to Ukraine. Cluster munitions are prohibited in all civilized countries. It became the escalation of the situation.

    India began deliveries of Brahmos missiles to Russia, for strikes on Kyiv, Zaporozhye and the Dnieper.

    We're asking the FBI to arrest Biden. Their actions work against Ukraine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. Oh.. that’s terrible.
    Now we can’t have an iron man 6 or an Indiana Jones 26 or whatever crappy remake they’re going to waste our time with.
    Nothing original has come out of Hollywood in years anyway

  9. The studios, actors and writers can all go away.
