But out the champagne, folks! The SAG-AFTRA strike is finally over, and it’s time for actors, crew members, and everyone in between to get back to work! Following the actors’ guild victory of reaching a tentative agreement with studios for a new three-year contract, the 100+ day strike officially ended at 12:01 a.m. Thursday. As we pointed out in a previous article, the next step is to take the agreement to the SAG-AFTRA national board for approval on Friday, after which we can expect to hear the full details of the new deal. Eligible members of the actors guild will then vote to ratify the new agreement, which could take at least a week or more, but as the strike has ended, actors can return to work on Thursday. Accompanying this fantastic news is a list of the first TV series reinstating production.
The first TV series going back into production is the NBC/Warner Bros. TV revival for Night Court, with a targeted restart date of 11/15. Other shows could resume filming after the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.
Shows expected to resume include Netflix’s sophomore season of The Sandman, Young Sheldon, The Rookie, Abbott Elementary, Pretty Little Liars, Law & Order, The Equalizer, and much more!
