The Hollywood strike is a labor dispute between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The WGA is asking for higher pay, better working conditions, and more residuals for streaming content. The AMPTP has refused to meet these demands, and the strike has been ongoing for over 100 days.
The strike has affected production on several Star Trek projects, including Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and Star Trek: Discovery. It is unclear when production will resume, or when new episodes of these shows will air.
Several celebrities have spoken out in support of the Hollywood strike:
Patrick Stewart, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, said in a statement, "I stand in solidarity with my fellow actors and writers who are striking for a fair contract. The entertainment industry is a vital part of our economy, and it is important that we ensure that the people who create the content are treated fairly."
Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin Henderson in Stranger Things, which is also produced by Netflix, said in a tweet, "I stand with the writers and actors who are striking for a fair contract. The entertainment industry is a tough place to work, and it's important that we fight for our rights."
Ming-Na Wen, who plays Agent Melinda May in Agents of SHIELD, said in an interview, "I'm proud to stand with my fellow actors and writers who are striking for a fair contract. We deserve to be treated fairly and with respect, and we will not back down until we get what we deserve."
The Star Trek actors and producers who have spoken out in support of the strike are hoping to raise awareness of the issue and put pressure on the AMPTP to reach a fair agreement. They are also sending a message to fans that they are committed to making sure that Star Trek continues to be a great show.
