has granted approval for three AMC Networks shows to restart production, under its controversial provision allowing “independent” projects to continue despite the strike.
SAG-AFTRA has granted “interim agreements” to more than 300 projects since the strike began in mid-July. The agreements allow productions that are not connected to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to keep shooting, provided they abide by the terms of SAG-AFTRA’s last proposal to the studios.
The interim agreements have been controversial within SAG-AFTRA, as many members feel they undermine the solidarity of the strike. The union has repeatedly to the membership why it believes the agreements undercut the AMPTP, and urged members not to make negative remarks about actors who perform in approved productions.
SAG-AFTRA had earlier given approval to “Tehran,” an Apple TV+ show that shoots in Israel. The union said the waiver was granted — even though Apple is an AMPTP member company — to adhere to local labor laws.
