Multiple writer’s rooms that were either shut down or delayed by the writer’s strike are expected to be up and running by early next week.
Deadline reports that the writer’s rooms on a bunch of network series will get back to work on Monday including “Grey’s Anatomy,” “9-1-1” and “Criminal Minds: Evolution” at ABC; “Family Guy,” “Bob’s Burgers” and “The Simpsons” at FOX; and “Quantum Leap” at NBC.
Not confirmed for Monday but said to be starting early next week are multiple CBS series like “Ghosts,” “FBI,” “Young Sheldon,” “NCIS,” “Fire Country,” “The Neighborhood” and possibly “Law & Order: SVU”.
Also returning to work next week are FOX’s “Animal Control,” “The Cleaning Lady,” “Alert,” and the upcoming “Rescue: Hi-Surf”; they’ll be joined by ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” Max’s “The Sex Lives of College Girls”.
Work on scripts for a third season of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” on Wednesday. Timing on when actual filming can restart is still up in the air whilst SAG-AFTRA remains on strike.
Studios and networks have been in conversations with their showrunners since the writers’s strike ended about when it would make sense to open a writer’s room for each series.
The earlier they open, the more episodes a show can be ready to produce once the SAG-AFTRA strike ends.
