Late night shows including Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and Late Night With Seth Meyers have already halted production. SNL has finished its season early, meaning that reruns will air in the remaining three slots.
Soap operas will be the shows to be impacted more drastically next, given how fast their turnaround times are. The fall television season might also end up delayed, as writing typically starts in May or June.
One of the more subtler ways that TV and movies will be impacted is on properties that already have a finished script, but won’t have a writer on hand to facilitate any necessary rewrites that may occur on set (we’ll discuss this more later). One of such shows is House of the Dragon, which is going ahead on the scripts it already has.
Streamers already have content banked, and Netflix has said that it can fill any gaps with international releases. Movies are less likely to be affected in any immediate ways, given how long the production cycle for feature length projects is.
Also, in case you were wondering: News writers and reality writers are repped by a different union.
