Status: Following Abbott Elementary‘s Season 2 finale on April 19, the writers’ room was set to reconvene and start writing Season 3 on May 1, the same day the WGA contract expired. Instead, Season 3 writing is now on hold, and Abbott‘s writers (including Quinta Brunson) have joined their fellow creatives on strike. Ahead of the Season 2 finale, Abbott Elementary showrunners Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker spoke to Decider and shared thoughts on the strike and what it might mean for Season 3. “On a pragmatic level… [a strike] could affect the amount of episodes in the season. In the last strike, if I recall, the example is like Breaking Bad did seven episodes. But that strike lasted three months or something like that,” Schumacker said. “…If it has to happen, knock on wood that it can resolve very quickly, and we can go back in, and people won’t notice too much at home that anything different happened this year.”

Status: American Horror Story‘s Season 11 finale aired in November 2022, and Season 12 was already in production at the time of the strike. Initial reports stated that Teamsters refused to cross picket lines outside AHS production, but Deadline reported that “filming did not stop, so AHS: Delicate may still be on track for a summer 2023 release.

Status: Like American Horror Story, Billions was temporarily impacted by the writers’ strike. Deadline reports the show shut down production for several hours on May 4 after cast and crew refused to cross the WGA picket line, but filming resumed later that day.

Status: Netflix dropped Big Mouth Season 6 in October 2022, and though the series has been renewed for Season 7 and Season 8, you may have to wait a bit longer to see the final season. Per Variety, Big Mouth writers were six weeks into writing Season 8 and were on track to finish by August.

Status: Season 5 of Cobra Kai premiered on Netflix in September 2022, but the writers’ room shut down on May 2, which means Season 6 will be delayed. “We hate to strike, but if we must, we strike hard. Pencils down in the Cobra Kai writers room. No writers on set. These aren’t fun times, but it’s unfortunately necessary. The moment a fair deal is in place, we’ll get back to kicking ass,” showrunner Jon Hurwitz tweeted.

Status: Evil‘s Season 3 finale aired in August 2022, and though Season 4 production wrapped earlier than expected, it’s unclear if the strike played a part in an early shutdown. Per Variety, “the set faced disruptions by picketing Writers Guild members,” but a cast member also had to take “a leave of absence due to a personal family matter.” It’s unclear if the originally planned 10 episodes in Season 4 were completed prior to wrapping early.

Status: Production for Daredevil: Born Again was already underway when writers went on strike, and though production was disrupted by picketers and filming shut down early after 1 p.m. on May 8, production was expected to resume on May 9, so we’ll have to stay tuned.

Status: Good Omens Season 2 is still on track for its planned release in Summer 2023 since production wrapped ahead of the strike, but showrunner Neil Gaiman posted his support of the strike and said the Season 2 promotional rollout could look a bit different depending on whether or not the WGA reached a deal ahead of its premiere. “I’m in the Writers Guild of America. I wish this wasn’t happening and support it absolutely. When I wake up tomorrow I’ll be on strike. (To forestall the inevitable questions, Good Omens 2 is completed and handed in. Although I may not be able to promote it as I had hoped,)” Gaiman tweeted on May 2.

Status: The Season 2 finale of Hacks premiered in June 2022 and Season 3 will likely be delayed, as Deadline reported production shut down on May 5. “We are devastated to not be with our incredible crew and cast right now, but there was no other option here,” co-creator and showrunner Jen Statsky tweeted. “Writing happens at every stage of the process – production and post included. It’s what makes shows and movies good. It’s what makes them possible.”

Status: Filming of House of the Dragon Season 2 will continue as planned in the U.K. since scripts were completed pre-strike, Variety reported. Though writing normally continues on-set and is a crucial component in the production process, a major point the WGA is making during this strike (and one writer George R.R. Martin made in a blog post without specifically calling out House of the Dragon) showrunner Ryan Condal is reportedly moving ahead in “a non-writing capacity: no editing, no network notes, no writing.”

Status: Speaking of Game of Thrones, co-creator George R.R. Martin announced that the writers’ room for the prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Night, is “closed for the duration” of the strike in support of writers.

Status: Some of the first major shows impacted by the strike were late-night television shows like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and The Daily Show, which shut down production immediately and began airing re-runs. Other shows including Saturday Night Live, Real Time with Bill Maher, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver were also impacted, but have yet to lay out future plans.

Status: The Apple TV+ comedy Loot, starring Maya Rudolph, paused production on its second season after striking writers picketed at the mega-mansion in Bel-Air where filming takes place. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Rudolph is said to have retreated to her trailer, unwilling to return to work.”

Status: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will continue filming Season 2 during the strike, but Variety reports the show will proceed without its showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, and other writer-producers who are supporting the WGA strike. As of the report, Season 2 had 19 days left in production.

Status: Night Court‘s Season 1 finale is set to air May 9, but Season 2 production was already underway when the strike began. As a result, the series is expected to shut down, as writers are essential to the production of a multi-camera sitcom.

Status: Power Book III: Raising Kanan‘s Season 2 finale aired in October 2022, and writing for Season 3 was underway when the strike shut down the room, per Deadline.

Status: On May 8, WGA members on strike picketed at York Studios in the Bronx and Westchester, shutting down production on the second season of Apple TV+’s workplace thriller, Severance. Members of IATSE and the Teamsters refused to cross the picket line in New York, so Season 2 may experience delays.

Status: Season 1 of Netflix’s Unstable, starring Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe, premiered on March 30. Though the series has yet to be publicly renewed for Season 2, reports claim the second season was already in production and has been shut down.

Status: The fifth and final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things has also been delayed as a result of the strike. “Writing does not stop when filming begins,” the Duffer brothers tweeted. “While we’re excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike. We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then — over and out.” Filming was reportedly set to begin in June, so Season 5 production as a whole will likely experience delays.

Status: What’s the buzz buzz with Yellowjackets? Co-creator Ashley Lyle tweeted to announce that the writers’ room met and worked on Season 3 for just one day before shutting down because of the strike. So expect delays here, too!
