The list of postponed Hollywood productions due to the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) grows longer and longer with each passing day.
Initially, the strike primarily affected late-night comedies such as Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Meyers. Meyers was a writer at Saturday Night Live during the last WGA strike in 2007. He addressed his late-night audience before the strike, voicing his support of the Guild by saying, “I am deeply proud of the fact that I get to be a professional writer. I bring this up because, as of Monday at midnight, there might be a writers’ strike. And if a writers’ strike happens, that would shut down production on a great many shows…No one is entitled to a job in show business. But for those people who have a job in show business, they are entitled to fair compensation…and I support those demands.”

TV Insider compiled a list of shows on an indefinite hiatus due to the strike, such as the second season of Andor. The show’s creator, Tony Gilroy, spoke on how he halted all writing duties when the strike first started, saying to the Hollywood Reporter, “I discontinued all writing and writing-related work on Andor prior to midnight, May 1. After being briefed on the Saturday showrunner meeting, I informed Chris Keyser at the WGA on Sunday morning that I would also be ceasing all non-writing producing functions.”
The strike largely affects Marvel Studios, especially with the perpetually troubled Blade film, which has met with continuous hiccups since being announced. Daredevil: Born Again was filming in New York during the strike with the script locked in; however, picketers protested on location, prompting the show to shut down the entire production.
Other shows and films listed are Cobra Kai, Blade Runner 2099, and the twenty-second season of Family Guy.
