The Walking Dead, Homeland, American Horror Story … your favorite series are saved!

Cinema 3 May, 2017

The shooting of series such as The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and Homeland was threatened but now everything seems to be back in order!
If we were happy that the shooting of season 8 of The Walking Dead finally began and the first photos of Rick and Carl were unveiled, we must say that we were a little scared for our favorite series. The series of AMC but also Homeland , Gotham , Jessica Jones and American Horror Story were threatened because of the strike. The shooting of these series could have been delayed but good news, they are saved! Yes, the Writers Guild of America planned to take to the streets and to strike from May 2 but ultimately, all this was avoided because an agreement was reached between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producer . If the negotiations were not easy, the two sides finally found an agreement for a new three-year contract. Among other things, the Writers Guild of America has been able to secure benefits such as parental leave, overtime payments and long-sought health insurance.
The union of American scriptwriters did not get everything he wanted but enough to cancel the strike that could have paralyzed Hollywood for an indefinite period. “We got everything we wanted, no, everything we deserved, certainly not because we had almost unanimous support and that of your colleagues, we managed to find an agreement that will allow the members of this Guild to spend $ 130 million more than expected … We wanted to thank you and congratulate you, you have been heard , “said the Writers Guild of America . We will not have to draw a line on season 8 of The Walking Dead which will see two new ones joining the cast or another one of our favorite shows while the writers have got a good compromise. In short, everyone is happy and so much the better! And you, were you afraid that the strike of the writers paralyzed Hollywood?
