Re: Actors' strike

[(Anonymous)]

One addition wrt the writer's strike, that writers mentioned when interviewed, was that the short season model, and the "maybe there'll be another season at some point" model are another issue. Because TV actors used to be able to get a gig on a show and know that they had secure employment for most of the year. And at the end of the season, if they'd been a good fit with the show, they could most likely have a fairly clear idea of when they'd be coming back for the next season. But with much, much shorter seasons, and seasons being released sporadically, TV writers are left having to hustle way harder to secure numerous gigs per year, and inevitably still ending up with a lot more time where they're not employed.

And then the lack of residuals just makes the hugely increased job insecurity even more untenable. One long-time TV writes summed it us as, “If you write a show for Hulu, you get paid to write it and then you might see $400 for the next three years, as opposed to a Network show which for reruns might be $24K [for the same time frame].”

Also, because of the shorter seasons model, TV writers are being hired to write the entire show before the filming even starts, and then they're let go, which means they're no longer getting the production experience previous writers got, which is the experience they need in order to be able to advance up the ladder in the writer's room.
