Major Shows That Probably Won't Be Affected By The Writers Strike
04/25/2017 12:59 pm EDT
Game Of Thrones
With only 13 episodes left in the series, Game of Thrones is wrapping up its historic run on HBO.
The seventh season, which consists of just seven episodes, as already wrapped filming in Europe. Right now, the show is in post-production, preparing for the season premiere on July 16.
The writing is already completed here, and the filming is already finished. With that in mind, there should be no problem for Game of Thrones.
Fear The Walking Dead
While The Walking Dead is just beginning production on season eight, the spin-off series is at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Fear The Walking Dead - which has already been renewed for a fourth season in 2018 - is about to complete filming on season three.
By the time the strike goes into effect, Fear will be heading into post-production. There's no reason to worry about the series when it premieres this summer.
Stranger Things
Although Stranger Things won't air its highly-anticipated second season until Halloween, the series is filming all nine episodes together.
Filming is currently underway on episodes 8 & 9, so most of the production is behind the Duffer Brothers and their team.
There's plenty of special effects work to be done in Stranger Things, so the filming process had to get wrapped early. This effectively saved Eleven and the boys from strike troubles.
Preacher
AMC has a few shows that can get through the strike un-scathed, and Preacher is definitely one of them.
The comic-based series is currently filming in New Orleans, so there isn't much writing left to do on the second season.
Even if the filming stage overlaps with the strike, the series is past the point of no return. There will be new episodes this summer.
