'Stranger Things' and other film projects that had to be 'frozen' due to screenwriter protests in the US

The writers’ strike and protests in the US immediately had an impact on Hollywood, as many studios and television stations were unable to continue producing films and television shows due to a lack of scripts. The number of film and television projects affected and forced to stop production to continue waiting is not small, the source emphasized.

Stranger Things has been canceled after season 5, filmmakers Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer have announced.

The projects most affected include the fifth and final season of Netflix’s sci- fi series Stranger Things , Apple TV+’s comedy series Loot , and Marvel’s vampire-slaying franchise Blade . There’s no word yet on when these projects will resume production, with Stranger Things having reached its final stretch, Loot having produced one season, and Blade yet to release a teaser.

A series of American late-night TV shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC, The Daily Show on Comedy Central, 2 shows Real Time With Bill Maher and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver on HBO, Late Show With Stephen Colbert on CBS, 2 shows Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night With Seth Meyers on NBC, also had to stop due to lack of scripts.

Blade is the first Marvel film to halt production due to the strike.

American screenwriters went on strike and protested in places like Los Angeles and New York City, protesting against artificial intelligence (AI) taking away their jobs, low wages... Hundreds of members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) went on strike and hung banners and slogans on the streets, targeting major Hollywood studios after 15 years.

Fifteen years ago, a similar strike forced many TV stations and studios to halt production of films and television shows. The strike lasted for more than three months, causing an economic loss of $2 billion (about $2.8 billion today).
