It has been more than a month since the writers’ strike began in the United States, which is why various series and films have been affected in their production.
However, such is the problem that several studios have already confirmed that their productions have been delayed, so much so that you will have to wait, at least a year or more, to be able to enjoy the content you are waiting for so much.
Although during the next two months the big and small screen will enjoy new content, due to the summer in the United States, the truth is that the strike is leaving critical cases, with series that were supposed to come out in 2024, but that might only be released in 2025. light.
It is regarding the ravages of a strike for which there is still no solution and which remains firm in Hollywood and throughout the United States.
Series: the streaming workhorse affected by the writers’ strike
If we had to mention what the streaming workhorse is, probably many would say that it is the series.
Since complete seasons began to be released in one day, something that never happened with television, series marathons were created, which meant that many were watching their content over and over once more.
That is why the writers are complaining, since they do not receive payment for the repetition of that content that we see over and over once more on streaming accounts and the strike will affect the most precious thing in streaming, its workhorse: the series.
Stranger Things
One of the first to be affected by the strike is Stranger Things, which almost a year following the last episodes of the fourth season were released, was preparing to go into production this June.
However, the strike stopped the entire process and the filming of the fifth season was suspended, despite the fact that Netflix France assured via Twitter, on May 31, that it was continuing, to which the same official account of the series replied that were on hiatus due to the strike, reported Decider.
At the moment, production has an indefinite delay, so the outlook for the fifth season to premiere in 2014 looks complex.
Euphoria y The Last Of Us
In January 2022, the second season of Euphoria was launched, the HBO series starring Zendaya that had a 2024 premiere date, for the third season.
It is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated shows on HBO, however, balancing the schedule of its protagonist, Zendaya, and its creator, Sam Levinson, who is now involved in The Idol, is complex.
Adding the writers’ strike is a bomb, so HBO executive Francesca Orsi confirmed to Deadline that fans will have to wait until at least 2025 to see Rue, Jules, Fezco, and Nate once more, because they don’t have scripts to start production.
Orsi stated, “We can’t start filming, so the delivery of that show, ideally in 2025, will be determined when we can pick up with Sam, who at this point is all set and just finishing up posting on Idol.”
Regarding The last of us, the series starring Pedro Pascal, it was confirmed that the premiere of the second season would be in 2025, although the executive mentions that the writing of the new season of this show, as well as The White Lotus stopped, so for the moment he is hopeful that the date will be maintained, but things might change depending on the extension of the strike.
Andor and the Writers Strike
Another series that was in full production when the writers’ strike began is Andor.
The Disney+ series, starring Diego Luna, was criticized for continuing to work on production. It was specifically the showrunner of the series, Tony Gilroy, who was targeted by the critics.
However, the producer reported that “I have discontinued all writing and writing-related work on ‘Andor’ before midnight on May 1, also ceasing all non-writing functions.” frames.
The second season of the series, whose first season premiered in 2022, should see the light of day in August 2024, however, everything indicates that this date can be delayed, since it needs at least 1 year of post-production work following finish the recording that has been unemployed for a month.
Movies are also affected
If there is someone who has a tight schedule in Hollywood, it is Zendaya, who will not only be affected by her Euphoria series, but also by Spiderman 4.
Amy Pascal, a producer at Sony Pictures, told Variety that the movie with Zendaya and Tom Holland is still in the works, but that the development of this stopped completely with the strike
“We are in the process, but with the writers’ strike, nobody is working during the strike. We are all supporters and every time they meet, we will start, ”said the producer.
The head of Sony, Tom Rothman, did not even want to address the subject and only chose to throw a joke, so the film seems more and more distant, although not impossible.
Another film that will not see the light of day for a long time is Batman 2. The production, which would bring Robert Pattinson back as Bruce Wayne in 2025, was scheduled to begin filming later this year.
However, everything indicates that the filming process will be delayed with the writers’ strike, considering that Mattson Tomlin, who works on the script with the film’s director Matt Reves, is actively participating in the strike.
According Tomatazosthe Midgard Times site assured that filming was delayed to March 2024, so they might eventually meet the release date for 2025, although it might be released in 2026.
The writers’ strike continues
At the moment, the writers’ strike in the United States continues, so more series and movies are expected to suffer the consequences.
For its part, the Writers Union sent a message last Thursday, indicating that the strike will not end like the one that took place in 2008.
This is because they accuse a “Divide and Conquer” style strategy by the Alliance of Film and Television Producers, pointing out “This year is different,” he stated. Variety.
