<p class="p1">The Screen Actors Guild has voted to go on strike amid the ongoing writers strike, and what that means for your favorite TV shows and movies is a halt on productions.</p>
<p class="p1">The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) voted unanimously on Thursday to join the Writers Guild of America&#8217;s (WGA) strike effectively shutting down <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hollywood</a>, the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/sag-aftra-strike-press-conference-livestream-1235535529/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hollywood Reporter</a> reported.</p>
<p class="p1">The strike means &#8220;all scripted series&#8221; will shut down, and productions on TV shows and movies must stop until an agreement can be reached, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-ceo-bob-iger-says-writers-and-actors-are-not-realistic-with-demands-its-very-disturbing-to-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>In May, WGA members authorized a strike after the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), a trade association that represents a collective of studios, did not approve a new contract with increased minimum compensation and larger contributions to benefits, the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/hollywood-writers-slam-execs-wga-strike-1235476552/"><span class="s1">Hollywood Reporter</span></a> noted.</p>
<p class="p1">SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher called AMPTP’s proposals &#8220;insulting and disrespectful,&#8221; THR noted.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">At a moment when Hollywood’s writers remain on strike, members of performers’ union SAG-AFTRA will soon be mounting their own picket lines, constituting the first “double strike” involving both actors and scribes since 1960 <a href="https://t.co/C1VI1daRRD">https://t.co/C1VI1daRRD</a> <a href="https://t.co/P9XUp6NouO">pic.twitter.com/P9XUp6NouO</a></p>

<p class="p1">&#8220;The companies have refused to meaningfully engage on some topics and on others completely stonewalled us,&#8221; Drescher <a href="https://ksltv.com/567257/hollywood-actors-join-screenwriters-in-historic-industry-stopping-strike-as-contract-talks-collapse/">said</a>. &#8220;Until they do negotiate in good faith, we cannot begin to reach a deal.”</p>
<p>AMPTP&#8217;s released a statement and said it was &#8220;deeply disappointed that SAG-AFTRA has decided to walk away from negotiations.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In doing so, it has dismissed our offer of historic pay and residual increases, substantially higher caps on pension and health contributions, audition protections, shortened series option periods, a groundbreaking AI proposal that protects actors&#8217; digital likenesses and more,&#8221; the statement read.</p>

<p class="p1">Variety Senior editor Marc Malkin previously told <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sag-strike-what-happens-if-hollywood-actors-decide-to-protest-after-contract-negotiations-fail" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Tonight,</a> &#8220;If SAG-AFTRA goes on strike, no scripted shows can keep going because the actors are on strike.&#8221;</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;How do you film a show without the actors?&#8221; he added. &#8220;And really, the only thing that will be in production [amid an an actors&#8217; strike] will be reality TV shows. Of course it can get worse, as long as shows are put on hold, production is put on hold, it&#8217;s going to postpone premiere dates, how long seasons are.&#8221;</p>
<p class="p1">&#8220;You have a show like &#8216;Emily in Paris<i>,&#8217; </i>they shut down production so they don&#8217;t know when they&#8217;re going to go back into production,&#8221; Malkin continued. &#8220;When they go back into production, how fast they can get things going? When [can] they actually premiere a new season?&#8221;</p>
