Which shows are unaffected by the SAG-AFTRA strike?

Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists Strike Brings Film and TV Projects to a Halt

As the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists began its strike on Friday, the entertainment industry was left in suspense as projects in film and television came to a sudden stop. However, amidst the chaos, there are a few exceptions.

What’s Still in Production?

The strike is very specific about what it does and does not include. Here’s a breakdown of the shows you can expect to be in production through the strike:

• Soap operas
• Music videos
• Award shows
• Reality and competition shows
• Variety and game shows
• Talk shows

However, it’s important to note that some talk shows have been affected by the strike due to the ongoing strike of the Writer’s Guild of America. Without their unionized writers, these talk shows have been put out of production. Here are the shows that remain unaffected by either strike:

• The Price is Right
• 25 Words or Less
• LIVE with Kelly and Mark
• The View
• Tamron Hall
• Let’s Make a Deal
• Wheel of Fortune
• Jeopardy
• Sherri

One other consideration is that the number of guests who appear on talk shows could dwindle. Part of the strike includes a prohibition on publicity for any film, television, or streaming projects. This is a key reason why actors appear on talk shows. Without the green light to publicize projects, sag-aftra-strike/” title=”SAG-AFTRA strike won’t impact certain shows.”>fewer actors are likely to make appearances.

For example, according to the listings for The View, the only guest expected for the entire week is Republican presidential candidate Will Hurd. The rest of the week will be filled with segments discussing a variety of “hot topics” chosen by the hosts.

While performers won’t be singing, rehearsing, or auditioning for anything, it’s worth noting that SAG-AFTRA agreements do not include work in voice-dubbing, commercials, or podcasting.

This strike marks the first time in 43 years that the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists has gone on strike. Additionally, it is the first time in 63 years that both the Writer’s Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA are simultaneously on strike, with Ronald Reagan at the helm before he ran for president during the most recent strike.
