WGA reaches tentative deal with studios. When will shows return?
Once the contract is approved, some writers’ work will continue faster than others.
LOS ANGELES – A prediction agreement between striking screenwriters and Hollywood studios offer some hope that the industry double step may end soon. But when will your favorite show return?
Well, it’s complicated. First, the deal need to pass two crucial votes – one involving the councils of the screenwriters’ union, followed by a vote by the 11,500 members themselves.
Then there’s the fact that 65,000 film and television actors are still on strike. Stopping that work would prevent many projects from returning to normal. Sure product is suspended such as “Deadpool 3,” “Yellowjackets” and Quentin Tarantino’s next film will still have to wait for the actors to reach an agreement with the studio.
WHEN IS ‘JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE’ COMING BACK?
Once the contract is approved, some writers’ work will continue faster than others. Late night talk show were the first to be affected when the strike began and they could be among the first to return to work now. “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on NBC, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC and “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS could return in the next few days.
However, they will return when there is a shortage of customers. The actors are on strike, limiting advertising appearances, which are the lifeblood of late-night shows.
“Saturday Night Live” may be returning for a 49th season. Its writers could soon start working on sketches and its actors could perform because they work under a contract others are not covered by the actors’ strike, although as union members they may be reluctant to do so.
Shows returning while actors are still performing can be controversial, as happened with the planned resumption of daytime shows including “The Drew Barrymore Show” and “The Talk.” Those plans were later abandoned.
One show that is likely to return quickly is “Real Time with Bill Maher.” The showrunner plots to return without a writer but finally postponed when last week’s talks were scheduled.
What about ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Superman’?
Screenwriting room shows it is off when the strike begins, including “Stranger Things,” “Severance” on Apple TV+ and “Abbott Elementary” on Netflix’s ABC are also likely to be reactivated quickly. But without performers acting out the script, long delays between page and screen were inevitable.
Film writers will also return to work on a slower timeline, although those who are writing or editing late on scheduled films — including “Deadpool 3” and “Superman: Legacy” — will certainly hustle to get further away. release date delay.
Director Quentin Tarantino’s 10th film, “The Movie Critic,” is among the scripts being written where producers are waiting for actors to return to the set.
WHEN WILL DREW BARRYMORE AND OTHER DAY SHOWS RETURN?
Barrymore’s plans to return to daytime television have become one gathering point for pickers earlier this month, causing her to cancel her plans. “The Talk” and “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” which also hired several writers, also canceled plans to return.
Barrymore and the other shows have yet to announce return plans. However, the Writers Guild of America has made it clear: Guild members cannot begin work on projects again until the proposed contract is ratified.
That vote has not yet been scheduled.
