WGA pickets planned as actress will continue her daytime show without writers this week

Back in May, Barrymore stood in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America when shein the early days of the strike. “I made a choice to walk away from the MTV, film and television awards because I was the host and it had a direct conflict with what the strike was dealing with which was studios, streamers, film, and television,” Barrymore wrote Sunday.

Despite that early support, CBS Television revealed earlier in late August that the Drew Barrymore Show would return this month despite the writers strike, with Barrymore confirming the decision in her Instagram statement.“I am also making the choice to come back for the first time in this strike for our show, that may have my name on it but this is bigger than just me.

Barrymore added, “I want to be there to provide what writers do so well, which is a way to bring us together or help us make sense of the human experience. I hope for a resolve for everyone as soon as possible. We have navigated difficult times since we first came on air. And so I take a step forward to start season 4 once again with an astute humility.
