The writers’ walkout began on 2 May, which members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) joined on 13 July, making it the longest strike to affect Hollywood in decades. They were striking in a row over pay and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industry. The dispute has shut down many of America’s top shows, including Billions, The Handmaid’s Tale, Hacks, Severance, Yellowjackets, The Last of Us, Stranger Things, Abbott Elementary and several daytime and late-night talk shows. However, the end of the WGA strike does not return Hollywood to normal as the actors’ union which walked off the job in July remains on strike. Just like writers, actors are looking to improve wages, working conditions, and health and pension benefits. Will Hollywood remain a profit making entity if it bows to writes demands ?
