The strike by Sag-Aftra, the union that represents US actors, has come to an end after a tentative deal was reached with Hollywood studios. This means that production on a number of films and TV shows, which had been disrupted by the strike, can now resume. The strike, which lasted for four months, led to delays in the release dates for some projects. With the strike now called off, franchises such as Deadpool, The Last of Us, Avatar, and Mission Impossible can continue production. It also means that press junkets and red carpet premieres can return, allowing the cast of big releases like Dune: Part Two to do interviews to promote their films. The strike also caused a delay in awards ceremonies such as the Emmys, which will now take place in January. Additionally, the strike affected the release dates of several highly anticipated films. Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two was originally scheduled for November but was pushed back to March 2024 due to the strike. The Marvel Deadpool series and Venom series also faced production delays but are now expected to resume filming. The next installment of the Tom Cruise spy thriller franchise and the sequel to Ridley Scott's Gladiator are among the other projects that were affected by the strike. Several HBO shows, including Euphoria and The Last of Us, will also be returning and are set to resume filming in 2025. Netflix is also hoping to start filming the final season of Stranger Things soon in order to make up for the lack of content caused by the strikes. Overall, the end of the actors' strike is a positive development for the entertainment industry, allowing production to get back on track and bringing relief to fans eagerly awaiting their favorite shows and movies.
