The writers strike of 2023 was a major labor dispute between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The strike lasted from May 2 to September 27, 2023, and affected the production and release of many films and TV shows. The main issues in the strike were the residuals from streaming media, the size and stability of writers’ rooms, and the use of artificial intelligence in the writing process. The strike ended with a new three-year contract that gave writers more compensation, transparency, and protection.
