WGA strike

“Saturday Night Live” is ready to make its return, five months after ending its season early due to the writers strike.

Late-night talk shows are returning after a five-month absence brought on by the Hollywood writers strike, while actors will begin talks that could end their own long work walk-off.

After a 148-day strike, Hollywood screenwriters secured significant guardrails against the use of artificial intelligence in one of the first major labor battles over generative AI in the workplace.

A number of late-night shows, including “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” will return following news that the Hollywood writers strike has ended.

The monthslong strike that put Hollywood to a halt will end Wednesday, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) announced on Tuesday.

After nearly five months of strike, a tentative agreement has been reached between unionized screenwriters and the major Hollywood studios.

Here’s a look at the steps to come for writers and which shows you can expect to be back on air.

Negotiators for the striking Writers Guild of America and studio representatives were planning to meet again Sunday to continue work “in the final phase” of contract talks to potentially end a monthslong strike that’s crippled the entertainment industry.

A new poll shows that Americans are much more sympathetic to Hollywood’s striking writers and actors than they are to the studios on the other side of the table.

While optimistic, the people noted, however, that if a deal is not reached the strike could last through the end of the year.

The Writers Guild of America is expected to resume talks with Hollywood studios Wednesday, more than four months after writers went on strike after failed contract negotiations, the union said Monday.

Bill Maher has delayed returning to his HBO talk show during the ongoing strike by writers and actors, a decision following similar pauses in the past few days by “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “The Talk” and “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”

The announcement comes days after Barrymore defended her decision to bring the show back amid the strike.

“The Drew Barrymore Show” will begin airing fresh episodes on Monday but a lot of off-air controversy will be clinging to its typically bubbly host.

Amid her decision to air her talk show amid the Writers Guild of America strike, Drew Barrymore apologized to unions, adding, “I believe there’s nothing I can do or say in this moment to make it OK.”

Bad news if you’re looking forward to new episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Law & Order” airing anytime soon. Many of your favorite TV shows will not be back this fall because of the strikes by Hollywood actors and screenwriters.

Adam Scott, Natasha Lyonne and John Lithgow are among the celebrities taking part in a unique auction to raise money for crew members who lost their health care as part of the ongoing Hollywood strikes.

Amid the ongoing Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the WGA spoke out about Drew Barrymore returning for season four of her eponymous daytime talk show.

The release of “Dune: Part Two,” one of the fall’s most anticipated films, has been postponed from November until next near, Warner Bros. confirmed Thursday.

The Writers Guild of America said its negotiations with major studios and streaming services will resume Friday.
