The US actors' and writers' strike is continuing to shake up plans by the best streaming services and studios alike, with some productions getting the green light to continue and others having to pause pre- or mid-shoot. The latest shows to be caught up in the strike are the Disney Plus' Star Wars spin-off Andor season 2 and Apple TV Plus drama Tehran, and while it's good news for Apple it's bad news for Disney.
The strike means that actors and writers aren't available for all the things they do –not just the acting and writing but promo and overdubs for the actors and script changes and reshoots for the writers, among many more things. However, the union that represents the strikers, SAG-AFTRA, does consult with studios and streamers to discuss whether it's possible to continue production without breaking the strike.
