Television shows brought to a halt by the ongoing writers strike are starting to announce returns to production, as the strike approaches its fifth month.
Why it matters: As both the writers and actors strikes drag on, television hosts and producers are feeling pressure from other parts of their staff who have been sidelined as a result.
Driving the news: Bill Maher announced Thursday that his late-night show “Real Time With Bill Maher” will be returning to production “sans writers or writing.”
Between the lines: Maher is the first late-night host to announce that his show will be returning.
Yes, but: Returning to production without writers can be a reputational risk.
What they’re saying: Barrymore said on Instagram that she withdrew from her hosting duties at the recent MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year “because of the direct conflict with what the strike was dealing with.”
The big picture: Hollywood has taken an enormous financial hit in response to the simultaneous writers and actors strikes that still don’t have a clear end in sight.
What to watch: The Writers Guild of America and the group representing the movie studios, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, have agreed to resume negotiations next week.
