So, I just read this really interesting article about the writers’ strike and how it’s going to affect our favorite TV shows. Apparently, the Writers Guild of America is demanding better pay and working conditions for TV and movie writers, which is throwing a real wrench in the works for productions everywhere.
The article lists a bunch of popular shows that will be affected by the strike, including The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, and Stranger Things. Basically any show that’s currently in production or gearing up to start filming for the fall season is at risk of being delayed or even canceled altogether.
But for me, the real shocker was learning just how underpaid TV writers really are. I mean, we all know that Hollywood is a pretty cutthroat industry, but it’s wild to think that the people responsible for crafting the stories and characters we love so much are being paid a fraction of what the actors and producers are making.
It’s a bummer to think that we might have to wait even longer for new seasons of our favorite shows, but I’m glad the writers are standing up for what they deserve. Hopefully, this strike will lead to some real change in the industry.
In conclusion, if you’re like me and can’t live without your daily dose of TV, you might want to brace yourself for some serious delays in the coming months. And next time you’re binge-watching your favorite show, take a moment to appreciate the hard work and talent that goes into each episode, even if the writers behind it aren’t getting paid what they deserve.
