Jon Hurwitz recently turned to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express his excitement about the deal that WGA has made with studios. He thanked the committee for coming to a middle ground because they have also been supporting the strike by halting their show’s production. Seeing his tweet, one user asked him if they could start working now because SAG-AFTRA has not come to an agreement yet with production companies. In his response, he wrote, “Can’t get back on set yet, but can get back to writing the moment the guild says the word”.

The American screenwriter also wished for actors to resolve this longstanding issue. For writers, it is only a matter of time before the WGA committee shows the green light to artists to fill their vacant seats. The news came only days after the show’s actor Martin Kove dropped glimpses of his independent project.
