Hollywood Writers Strike
Writers Guild of America went on strike at the beginning of May after negotiations failed with major movie and television studios. No writer will create any new scripts, update any existing scripts, or help with any work until a new deal is reached by majority of union members. Popular shows including Stranger Things on Netflix, HBO's Hacks, Cobra Kai, The Last of Us and The Handmaid's Tale have all stopped production until further notice. In 2007-2008, writers went on strike demanding fair compensation for their work in the digital age. It cost California's economy over $2.1 billion. And you may notice some of your favourite TV shows from around that time have shorter seasons and less episodes
