There’s a battle brewing in Hollywood that may affect your television viewing. Members of the Writers Guild of America are poised to go on strike just before midnight on Monday if they can’t reach a new contract agreement with studios as the industry shifts more to streaming. If production does come to a halt due to a writers’ strike, here’s where audiences may see an impact.
Scripted comedies and dramas Many shows on both linear and streaming platforms work far enough ahead that new episodes are already written. That means a strike would have to run for awhile before viewers star missing their shows. Some platforms, like Netflix, have promised they’ll be able to offer new TV shows and movies for quite some time. “We really don’t want this to happen. But we have to make plans for the worst,” Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos said last month.
