SAG-AFTRA Strike: Which Movies and TV Shows Are Still in Production

Not every TV and film production will stop amid dual strikes by SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America. A host of projects stopped work after writers went on strike against media companies for better pay, streaming data transparency and protections against artificial intelligence (among other issues), and many more have paused since actors walked out on July 14.

There are exceptions, however. SAG-AFTRA’s strike rules allow for work on productions covered under different agreements, and the union can grant waivers or sign interim agreements with independent productions. Below is a list of TV shows and films that fall under those designations; this story will be updated as more productions earn waivers.

Interim Agreements

SAG-AFTRA has reached interim agreements with numerous independent productions, including movies from A24 (Death of a Unicorn, starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega, and Mother Mary with Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel) — which is not part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers — and the Mel Gibson-directed, Mark Wahlberg-led Flight Risk. The Chosen, a crowdfunded TV series about the life of Jesus, also reached an agreement to finish filming on its fourth season.

Starting July 27, the union also allowed actors to “audition and/or engage in negotiations regarding casting for” certain productions, but actors are not yet allowed to “travel, rehearse, or otherwise begin rendering services for the production” under strike rules. Those productions are noted with an asterisk.

The full list of titles with interim agreements is below.
