Law and Order SVU: Season 2023-24 May Be Saved If WGA Strike Ends
Law and Order: SVU: Former NBC Showrunner Has Hope The 2023-24 TV Season Can Be Saved
A light is starting to shine at the end of the long tunnel. There is the possibility of a deal to end the WGA strike If that deal comes together soon and a new contract can be worked out with SAG-AFTRA, viewers may still see the return of some of the scripted network shows during the 2023-24 season.
BBC 10 OCT 2023
“Rumors are flying that a deal is imminent. Who knows… but IF, somehow, the WGA and the AMPTP could come to an agreement by month’s end, and if SAGAFTRA could come to one by October 2023 end… a 13 episode network season could still be saved…
Writers – once hired – would need less than the normal 5 or 6 weeks of lead time to start the season, since they’d “only” be doing 13 episodes. If, instead of the traditional 2 week unpaid Christmas break, everybody agreed to one week (to make up for all the lost work)…
You might be able to get 5 eps shot before the new year. It would then be possible to shoot 8 more before late April (this might involve a partial tandem). Point is: it’s actually doable, which is perhaps one reason negotiations have finally started. Godspeed to all.”
