'Worst Cooks in America' Production Halted as Crew Strikes

Production for Season 28 of "Worst Cooks in America" has been halted in Long Island City, New York, due to a crew strike led by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE). The union claims that crew members in unscripted TV have been deprived of fair wages and benefits for too long and are demanding better conditions. The strike comes amidst ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, while reality star Bethenny Frankel has called for unionization in the industry. The show's producer, Objective Media Group, cited an inability to reach an agreement with the union as the reason for the shutdown.

WGA Hit Squad Halts Hollywood Shoots

A low-key operation by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is targeting specific filming locations in LA to shut them down and disrupt production, with just two people holding picket signs. The WGA has already managed to stop production on shows such as Disney+'s Wonder Man and Apple's Loot. The goal is to get studios to negotiate in good faith, and the WGA is encouraging others to do the same when they spot television and movie locations. The guild is also hoping for tips from people involved in productions or who hear about them through various ways.
