The writers strike is officially over as of midnight Wednesday. Screenwriters can return to work for the first time since they walked out on May 2nd, but 65,000 screen actors remain on strike. So, when is your favorite show likely to return?
The actors strike stoppage will prevent many projects from returning to normal. Certain paused productions such as “Deadpool 3,” “Yellowjackets” and the next film from Quentin Tarantino will still have to wait on actors to reach a deal with studios.
Writers rooms for scripted shows that shut down at the strike’s onset, including Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” “Severance” on Apple TV+, and “Abbott Elementary” on ABC are also likely to reactivate quickly. But with no performers to act out the scripts, long delays between page and screen will be inevitable.
Movie theaters will have a mix of Oscar contenders and action films. Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro and Lily Gladstone, will be out in October. November brings the newest Marvel film, “The Marvels,” as well as the prequel “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.”
MacDailyNews Take: In other words, until the actors strike is settled, nobody knows when your favorite show is likely to return.

The Marvels…I can smell the stink from here…
I heard the writers for Severance were able to continue writing during the strike in an office somewhere, except they had to be part of an experiment that blocked their memory as soon as they entered the building so they’d forget about the strike.
Which is exactly why there was no need for this article in the first place
Too bad!
Yup. We had a brief respite from the tidal waves of insanity and perversion that flood us from the sewer pipe known as Hollyweird. Egads, the global culture has gone in the toilet over the past 50 years thanks to these nut cases and pervs.
You are not a citizen. A citizen is part of a community. You are a xenophobic troll. GFY
Bummer. Was nice seeing the crap Hollyweird cranked out get stopped.
Now back to brainwashing the clueless masses.
