AMC Networks struck an interim deal with SAG-AFTRA.
The Big Picture In a shocking move, AMC announced today that three of its biggest series are resuming production despite the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike. As Deadline reveals, the studio struck an interim agreement with the Actors’ Guild that would allow the productions to move forward. AMC Networks is a member of the AMPTP – the entity that represents Hollywood’s biggest studios – but reportedly the Breaking Bad house is not among the studios that have been holding up negotiations.
The deal does not appear to extend to the WGA though, as the series can only continue production because all the scripts for the current seasons have already been completed. When the strike started, Interview With The Vampire was already filming Season 2 and The Ones Who Live reportedly is moving towards post-production, which suggests main stars like Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira only need to get back to record additional dialogue.
