The film and TV industry is bracing itself for a historic dual strike as the WGA (Writers Guild of America) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild ‐’ American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) prepare to take action. This unfolds a scenario not witnessed since the 1960s. The SAG-AFTRA National Board has scheduled a strike affecting numerous shows and movie productions. This will cease film and TV work worldwide.

The worst-case scenario that many have feared for months is now materializing, becoming a harsh reality. Unfortunate news has struck the Emmy-nominated romantic comedy, Emily in Paris. Now, with the additional blow of the SAG-AFTRA strike, the production of the series faces further challenges.

Emily in Paris struck with another blow

Emily Cooper faced the daunting task of bringing an American perspective to a marketing firm in Paris, and Netflix added to the pressure. Regrettably, the ongoing writers’ strike had already caused delays for the fan-favorite show, Emily in Paris, which had previously announced another season. Now, the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike is compounding the challenges for the show.

The obstacles for Season 4 of Emily in Paris continue to mount, as a new hurdle emerges regarding the filming location. As per Variety, the show, which predominantly captured the essence of the French capital, will now have to shift its shooting location. The booking of Cité du Cinéma, the venue that served as a backdrop for the first three seasons of the Olympic Games, necessitates a change in plans.

Turns out it is not just Emily in Paris that has suffered. Several other productions are lined up to be filmed in Paris, along with sequels to notable movie titles.

What other shows and movies will be affected by the SAG-AFTRA strike?

Just a day after the Emmy Award Nominations, the SAG-AFTRA strike has caused quite a stir. Numerous movies and series had already concluded their production in anticipation of the strike, but unfortunately, not all of them fared well. The production plans for both FX’s Alien and the third season of HBO’s The White Lotus were initially slated for filming in Thailand. However, the ongoing strike has disrupted these plans, causing significant challenges for these major productions.

Gladiator 2 and Mortal Kombat 2 are among the productions currently on hold because of the strike. Additionally, shows set to be filmed in Paris such as Etoile, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and The New Look are also facing delays. These shows had originally intended to capture the essence of Paris. The strike has now temporarily paused their production because of the ongoing strike.
