As the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists began its strike Friday, projects in film and television were brought to a halt, with some exceptions.
The strike is very specific about what it does and does not include. Here’s a breakdown of the shows you can expect to be in production through the strike.

SAG-AFTRA released a list of projects hours before the strike began that union performers are allowed to work on. They include soap operas, music videos, award shows, reality and competition shows, variety and game shows, and talk shows. However, as the Writer’s Guild of America has been on strike for its 11th week, some talk shows have been put out of production without their unionized writers. The following is a list of shows that are unaffected by either:

One other consideration is that the number of guests who appear on talk shows could dwindle. Part of the strike includes a prohibition on publicity on any film, television, or streaming projects, which is a key reason why actors appear on talk shows. Without the green light to publicize projects, fewer actors are likely to appear on talk shows.
For example, per the listings for The View, the only guest expected the entire week is Republican presidential candidate Will Hurd. The rest of the week will be segments full of “hot topics” in which the hosts will discuss a variety of topics of their choice.

While performers won’t be singing, rehearsing, or auditioning for anything, SAG-AFTRA agreements do not include work in voice-dubbing, commercials, or podcasting.
This is the first SAG-AFTRA strike in 43 years. This is the first time WGA and SAG-AFTRA are simultaneously on strike in 63 years, with Ronald Reagan at the helm before he ran for president for the last most recent strike.
