SAG-AFTRA Strike Puts Limits on Ongoing Projects

In solidarity with the Writers Guild of America (WGA), the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) will no longer grant permission for independent projects under WGA contracts to continue production during the ongoing strike. SAG-AFTRA announced that WGA-covered projects will be excluded from its Interim Agreement policy, which allows approved independent productions to continue filming. The decision aims to support the WGA's strike strategy, and SAG-AFTRA will investigate each application for an Interim Agreement to ensure only true independent productions are included. Over 200 movies and TV series have been granted permission to continue filming under interim agreements since the strike began.
