Many major upcoming and new shows and movies are getting delayed and postponed due to the Hollywood writers strike and including the most popular, The Boys Season 4.
Before this strike, a major strike occurred in 2007, ending after 100 long days. However, the long writer’s strike was in 1988, which lasted for 153 days.
What’s the Current Situation of The Hollywood Writers Strike?
The WGA (Writers Guild of America) has announced that they will not end the strike soon. They are prepared for a long strike until they have a secure deal to make writing a viable profession.
Predicting the End of The Hollywood Writers Strike
According to experts and reports, the writer’s strike will last for at least 3 more months. Negotiations between the studios and the writers are ongoing, but a viable deal has not been secured yet. As of now, both the studios and the writers are keeping their distance.
I'm on strike as a member of the WGA. My question is whether or not writers for the news channels are exempt. I know that late-night show writers are out, so…?

There are no further negotiations between the writers and the studio executives. But the observers and experts suggest that the negotiation sessions will resume this month.
Even though there are no ongoing negotiations to resolve the ongoing Hollywood writers strike, AMPTP is trying its best to have a deal with the Screen Actors Guild and the Directors Guild of America.
So there’s no host because of the writers strike. But the presenters are reading off a teleprompter. So who wrote that?

Many big studios have already paused their major projects. However, in July, the studios got a provision called force majeure to terminate the deals due to the ongoing writers’ strike. This provision will end the contract with writers, and the studios will continue their paused projects.
Many top writers and producers will be affected by the force majeure provision, especially if the negotiation sessions between the studio executives and writers don’t occur.

So, the duration of the writer’s strike is still uncertain, but observers remain optimistic for a potential resolution by mid-July 2023, keeping various factors in mind.
