With more than two months of the strike already having passed by, Hollywood is wondering what the future holds for actors and writers. Though uncertain, SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher, best known for her role as “The Nanny,” says that the union is prepared to strike for at least another six months.
“Residuals are part of the fight this time around, both SAG and WGA are concerned with other issues, particularly staffing writers’ rooms and the use of AI,”Entertainment Weekly writes to explain to premise of the protest.
The last film and television writer’s strike took place in 2007 and lasted 100 days, affecting top-rated shows such as ’30 Rock,’ ‘CSI,’and ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’
