Effects of writers strike on Sci Fi & Fantasy genre

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Keep telling people Shadow and Bone is top 3 out of the recent fantasy shows. It was cheap as well.

I liked season 1. I started watching season 2, but haven't been able to watch beyond the first episode. Hoping this writers strike either doesn't affect any of the shows I am waiting to watch future season, or ends quickly enough to not affect anything by much.

Either way it's full effects won't be known for months.

Eh, they're going to need time to figure out how to measure up to the first movie's blood shower sequence, one of the all-time vampire movie set pieces.

They only just hired the script writer maybe a week ago, so not surprising, as there was almost nothing done on it yet. Same for any movie due out in the next few years. I am sure hiring will continue, just nothing can be written.

If I where an Evil Streaming Corporation(tm) there are a few things I would do apart from endless reality TV:

1) More international stuff. For example, did you you know that the Italian show "Red Door" is basically Randel and Hopkirk [Deceased] without the jokes?

2) Remake stuff from the 50-80s. For example, the animated Star Trek series could be redone with CGI, keeping the original voice recordings, cleaned up a bit. Live action shows could be remade scene for scene, with modern production values.


What? I'm a DM, I'm used to thinking like a villain!

Script licensing agreements, actor's contracts, and the like could hobble that pretty quickly. For example they really wouldn't want to run afoul of the particularly litigious Mr. Harlan Ellison (ST:TOS "City on the Edge of Forever").

You mean because The Guardian of Forever appears in the Animated series' best episode? The Guardian also showed up in Discovery recently. I think, unless there was something weird about HE's initial contract, as work for hire, all rights indisputably belong to Paramount.

As for the actors, as far as I know, only three of them are still alive. Which is the case of most of the stuff from the 70s and earlier, anyone who might have an issue is busy being dead.
