Why Hollywood Writers Are Going On Strike

The WGA union has called for strike action after negotiations with studios for better pay and AI regulation fell through on Monday.

Writers say they want a living wage as streaming devalues their work even as it demands more of their time. Studios say the guild is asking too much at the wrong time — streaming has to focus on revenue when it used to value subscriber counts.

On the cusp of a potential strike, writers explain why no one is having much fun making television anymore.

Billions in losses. Sweeping layoffs. The party’s over, and Hollywood is waking up with a splitting headache.

Last WGA strike, we lost parts of seasons of "The Office" and "Family Guy", a drop in quality on "Friday Night Lights", and a key tweak in "Breaking Bad."
