Which WGA is going on strike in 2023? 

The Writers Guild of America represents over 11,000 writers who create scripts for your favorite shows and movies. They have been negotiating with AMPTP, which represents the major companies in the industry, since March 20, 2023. However, they could not reach an agreement by May 1, 2023, the final day of their previous contract. So they decided to go on strike starting May 2, 2023, halting new episodes and movies, especially in genres like comedy, drama, and late-night talk shows. On July 15, the actors’ guild, SAG-AFTRA, joined in on the strike, putting Hollywood on stop.
