![]() Starz’s P-Valley is also delaying production, as of May 10. Cable television is also being affected as Disney Channel’s Bunk’d has had production shut down on season seven due to the writers’ strike. Production on season four of CBS’s Evil wrapped early following an incident where picketing writers disrupted filming at Brooklyn Stages on Friday, though the show is insisting that the decision came as a result of a cast member taking a leave of absence due to a personal family matter. Per Deadline, NBC’s Night Court and Starz’s The Venery of Samantha Bird and Power Book III: Raising Kanan have currently closed their writers’ rooms. (To be fair, Gutfeld! will still be airing on Fox News … Deadline reports that the show’s team is non-union.) ![]() If you’re craving late-night and aren’t in the mood to watch reruns, maybe go over to the British model and check out interviews with Graham Norton or game playing - like the kind on Taskmaster - because the strike is based in the U.S. Other shows that have shut production down include The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Real Time with Bill Maher, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and NBC’s Tonight. That means no more Jimmy Fallon guffawing, no more Jimmy Kimmel pranks, no more erudite Stephen Colbert, and no more Saturday Night Live. Because these shows are written on an extremely tight schedule in order to stay topical, they can’t have any episodes banked for future use. Late night will be the first genre to go bye-bye. We thought it would be helpful to run down all the changes you might see in various forms of TV broadcasting because you may need to change your habits from a binge model to a slow drip. But while we can look back to that strike for some indication of what this one could look like, the times they are a-changin’, and things are a little different these days. The actors’ strike has also delayed a number of projects. On July 14, SAG-AFTRA also went on strike, marking the first time since 1960 that both actors and writers were on strike at the same time. ![]() It is the first WGA strike since 2007, when it lasted 100 days. On May 2, the WGA called for a general strike that includes TV and film writers across the United States. The Writers Guild of America announced that it had not come to an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on a new contract on May 1 to provide tenable working conditions for its members. Well, guess what? That might be gone soon too. But one thing that has remained consistent is a steady stream of TV shows providing solace. In the past few years, we’ve had a lot of bad things happen - not sure if you’ve noticed. Revisit our previous coverage of the WGA’s strike against the AMPTP as it hits 101 days.
