It’s finally over! Hollywood heaves a sigh of relief as the WGA strike has ended its 146-day strike.
However, many of us wonder when will some of the shows that were badly affected by the strike return.
Well, it’s complicated. However, here’s when your favorite show might return as the writers’ strike is on the verge of ending.
‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’
Late-night talk shows were the first to be affected when the strike began, and they may be among the first to return to air now.
NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS could come back within days. They will return with a guest shortage.
Real Time with Bill Maher
One show that’s likely to make a speedy return is ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’. The host plotted a return without writers but ended up postponing once last week’s negotiations were set.
Stranger Things
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. However, with no performers to act out the scripts, long delays between page and screen will be inevitable.
Superman
Film writers will also get back to work on their slower timeline, though those working on scripts or late revisions for already scheduled movies — including “Deadpool 3” and “Superman: Legacy” — will certainly be hustling to avoid further release-date delays.
