Actors strike ends:SAG-AFTRA leadership OKs tentative deal with major Hollywood studios

Will more shows return soon?

Scripted projects in Hollywood have been almost entirely shut down since May when the Writers Guild of America went on strike and was soon followed by SAG-AFTRA in July (the writers strike ended in October).

Starting production again isn’t as simple as the actors showing up to work. TV series and movies require a lot of preparation before shooting happens, from scriptwriting to set building and costume design. Once all that preproduction work is done, there will be a scramble to get every show and film back to set at once, which could cause traffic jams at major filming locations and a greater demand for behind-the-scenes crew than can be met.
