Scripts for AMC’s Anne Rice series and their “Walking Dead” spinoff shows are done, but no production has started. They are fighting for a living wage in the streaming era, says Abbott Elementary writer who calls the industry a "gig economy," where studios prioritize Wall Street, not workers.
Hollywood screenwriters of are going on strike. Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” (which was currently being hosted by a rotating cast of comedians) is also on hiatus. HBO will also cease live production of “Real Time with Bill Maher” and “Last Week Tonight” with John Oliver. ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” CBS’ “The Late Show,” and NBC’s “Tonight” and “Late Night” are all going on hiatus and repeats will be shown. UPDATE: “Family Guy” and “American Dad” updates added.

Variety will keep readers updated with a rolling list of everything that has been put on hold as a result of the strike, which went into effect Tuesday.

The WGA Writers Strike has officially begun and the picket lines have formed across Hollywood and New York City.
