Late-night talk shows, dependent on same-day comedy writing, were the first to shut down. “Saturday Night Live” has already axed this week’s episode.
— and the first Hollywood strike of any kind — in 15 years. Here’s a look at the storylines the fight has spawned.Streaming and its ripple effects are at the center of the dispute. The guild says that even as series budgets have increased, writers’ share of that money has consistently shrunk.
The lack of a regular seasonal calendar in streaming has depressed pay further, the report says. And scheduled annual pay bumps under the current contract have fallen well short of increases in inflation. Talks, which often extend for hours or days past a contract deadline, instead ended hours before the most recent contract expired Monday night. By that point writers, who voted overwhelmingly to authorize their leaders to call a strike, had already begun making signs for picket lines, Which they promptly put to use Tuesday.
The status of daytime talk shows, which lean more into host chats and interviews, are less certain. ABC’s “The View” was uninterrupted during the last strike, which began late in 2007 and ended early in 2008.The strike’s impact on scripted series could take far longer to manifest, though some, including Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” are already pausing production. Noticeable effects on the movie release calendar could take even longer.
Depending on their media consumption methods, many viewers and moviegoers may not notice the effects of a strike until long after it’s over, if at all. The menus on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video will look no different next week, but because this would be the first writers’ strike of the streaming era, there is no template for how they will look months down the line.
Guild strike rules prevent members from striking new deals, making new pitches, or turning in new scripts. They are allowed to accept payment for any writing that’s already been done.
