21 Movies Affected by the Hollywood Strike 2023
On July 13, Fran Drescher, president of SAG-AFTRA, initiated the union's first strike against film and television corporations in over four decades.
This strike, involving a vast body of 160,000 members—ranging from actors and singers to dancers—along with an ongoing writers' strike, represents the first instance of both unions striking simultaneously since 1960.
It is a powerful indicator of turbulence within the entertainment industry.
In comparison to the writers' strike, the halt in film and TV production is expected to be more immediate and extensive as actors join the protests.
Although union production work in cities like New York and Los Angeles is already sparse due to the writers' dispute, the strike will likely instantly affect any remaining physical production involving union performers across the U.S. Major film shoots and ongoing TV series are predicted to shut down as soon as they lose their leading stars.
The writers' strike initially affected late-night shows, which heavily rely on daily news-based writing. However, reports soon started emerging about the suspension of several scripted productions, including Netflix's Stranger Things, Apple TV+'s Loot, and Marvel's Blade, among others.
The initial wave of pauses in films and TV shows was attributed to the absence of writers and showrunners on set and specific union picketing, leaving cast and crew with the tough choice of crossing a picket line.
Here are 21 movies that production has already stopped or is expected to be affected by the ongoing strikes
