SUMMARY: The Writers Guild of America strike, which began nearly 50 days ago, has affected the production of TV and film nationwide. While some productions in Mississippi are on hold, others are moving forward due to locked script statuses. Film production in the state, which reached historical highs in 2022, has not been as impacted as California. Still, the situation could change if the actors’ strike authorized for July 1st goes into effect. Unscripted content, such as the show “Hometown,” has not been impacted by the strike. No agreement is expected until August at the earliest.
