Drew Barrymore is proceeding with season 4 of her daytime talk show, even though the Writer's Strike is still ongoing.

's popular talk show is coming back to a TV near you -- this despite the fact that there's still a couple strikes going on ... and one guild is effectively calling her a scab.

The former child star announced Sunday that season 4 of 'The Drew Barrymore Show' will soon resume production, something she knows is going to ruffle feathers ... but which she's defending as necessary, while also vowing to comply with strike regulations.Drew writes,"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.

Then, the haymaker ..."However, 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. I own this choice. We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind."

She explains that people, apparently, need her show ... writing,"We launched live in a global pandemic. Our show was built for sensitive times and has only functioned through what the real world is going through in real time. 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."
