SAG-AFTRA Strike Continues, Pushing Film and TV Production Delays to 2025; Negotiations to Continue Over Weekend

Historic double strike between Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild impacts production schedules and release dates of multiple upcoming films, TV shows and productions; prolonged negotiations on fair compensation, self-tape auditions, AI and more leave industry on edge.

The SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild strikes are causing major disruptions in TV and film production, pushing delays into 2025. Continued negotiations center on issues such as fair compensation and the use of AI for roles traditionally filled by actors.
Multiple upcoming films and TV shows have been affected by the strike, including Disney's Snow White starring Rachel Zegler, Disney Pixar’s Elio, ABC's series High Potential, and many others, all of which have had their release dates pushed back due to the strike.
While the writers ended their strike, actors continue to stay out. Studios are left unable to film or promote upcoming productions, leading to a standstill in the industry.
Negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the studios will continue over the weekend in an attempt to resolve the strike, with both parties remaining aware of the stakes involved in this situation.
Despite several discussions of new proposals and counter proposals for fairer compensation, no agreement has been reached yet. Many in the industry feel that dialogue is a positive indicator, but the depth of disagreement means resolution could take some time.
