Writers' Strike Halts TV Production, Including Stranger Things Season 5.
The Writers' Guild of America (WGA) strike has caused several television productions to shut down, including The Venery of Samantha Bird, Unstable, and Hacks. The Duffer Brothers have announced that Stranger Things season 5 won't begin production until a deal is in place. CBS's Evil wrapped early after picketing writers disrupted filming, but the show insists it was due to a cast member's leave of absence. As the strike continues, more shows may be hindered or shut down until it ends.
