House of the Dragon Unaffected by SAG-AFTRA Strike: Production Continues Despite Industry Disruption

2023-07-14 14:21:00
Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, many actors are leaving the set to fight for better working conditions and stop the threat of artificial intelligence. This does mean that many shows, movies, etc. will take a hit in terms of production schedules, but some big projects like House of the Dragon will not be affected. As Deadline reports, the cast of House of the Dragon is made up mostly of actors from another acting union, Equity. Therefore, they cannot stand in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA, which means that production can continue. “The complex and harmful barriers facing all trade unions in the UK are a national disgrace and need urgent reform,” the fair guide read. “The unfortunate consequence of this framework is that artists working in the UK – whether members of SAG-AFTRA and/or Equity (or both) – can do things differently than their counterparts in the US and other parts of the world. Equity Solidarity with SAG-AFTRA is true, even if it can’t legally strike out with its sister union. Overall, though, it means we shouldn’t see a major delay in the continuation of House of the Dragon.
