The conclusion of the WGA Strike has certainly helped all the creative minds who are the key members in the creation of shows and movies. Screenwriters have received various benefits from this deal, including improved payment and technological protection. All the beloved projects like The Last of Us, Billions, Deadpool 3, and Stranger Things have got back their writers. Unfortunately, the ongoing SAG-AFTRA will not let actors resume filming, so the productions will remain shut.
The actor union followed in the steps of the writers’ union on July 14 after production houses failed to strike a deal with them. Since then, they have been standing strong on the streets to receive a new contract that fulfills their demands. So now fans can only wait for the day SAG-AFTRA to come to an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
But still, there are many shows that will see back on air in the coming weeks that people have been watching for decades.
