Hollywood’s strikes are over, but a painful industry-wide transition isn’t

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:15:17 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood’s months of labor unrest are coming to an end, but the post-strike landscape that awaits actors and writers may be far from happily-ever-after.The film and television industry could rightly celebrate the conclusion this week of a bruising, protracted work stoppage that began in May when the Writers Guild hit the picket lines and gathered more force when Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists members walked out in mid-July.The strikes were historic in their length and cost, causing an estimated $6 billion in economic loss and leaving hundreds of thousands out of work.

Go out there and hopefully play our best game of the year on Sunday. That’s our goal.”The Patriots are looking for the first win outside their division this season as they play the 4-5 Colts.
