After a six-month hiatus due to strikes led by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), the television production landscape is back in action.
With the strikes officially coming to an end after agreements were reached between the actors’ guild and the studios, TV series, especially returning broadcast shows, are gearing up for a swift return to production.
