The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which represents film and TV crews, will go on strike on October 18 unless a deal to improve working conditions is reached before then

Unfortunately, Queens is on the list of shows that will be affected, meaning production will be shut down



Let's all hope that a resolution is reached quickly. The writers' strike of 07/08 killed off a lot of TV shows

MEH its the writers assistants not the actual writers .. The writers could stand in solidarity but many wont cause they are not on strike


The writers themselves are covered by the WGA agreement, and will not be on strike.

I have hope that Queens will weather what seems to be an important storm for the assistant writers.

No, the scope of the strike is much bigger. It includes camera operators, hair and makeup artists, production assistants, broadcast technicians, scenic artists, designers, audiovisual technicians, and more

so are they not getting paid enough?

From what has been mentioned, she's filming all the way to the end of the year for season 1.

My understanding is that it's related to compensation and long working hours with insufficient break time

CHOKE

I was worried this mess would affect the Marvel movies too
