Now the idea of trying to provide a safety net for actors is fine but lets be honest here even before streaming most actors weren’t making a living wage from residuals. If a show or movie bombs the actors don’t lose anything, they have been paid but the studio does as they made the investment in that content that now may struggle to even break even. It’s the client that is taking the financial risk, they are spending money in the hope that that investment brings a return. The reason being that I’m not taking any financial risk by taking the work, I get paid for my time. Why exactly do you think actors are special? Like an Actor I’m a freelancer, when I do work for a client I don’t get or expect a cut of all future earnings that my work helps my client to make. Grey’s is slated for midseason (for now), but the longer the strikes continue, the fewer episodes we’ll likely see in Season 20… whenever we see it. ![]() The strikes are already affecting Grey’s Anatomy fans: The popular drama is nowhere to be found on ABC’s fall schedule, which is dominated by reality TV and game shows. They join writers’ guild the WGA, who went on strike back on May 1 after stalling in negotiations with Hollywood producer union AMPTP over many of the same issues. SAG-AFTRA officially went on strike on July 13, seeking an increase in streaming residuals along with other issues like AI and revenue sharing. (Some cast members of Orange Is the New Black voiced those complaints in a recent New Yorker story.) Grey’s Anatomy does stream on Netflix as well, but it should be noted: The streamer wouldn’t be paying those actors residuals those would come from the show’s producers like ABC Studios, who license Grey’s to Netflix. As for Season 5, it is even more unclear how will Netflix choose to proceed.Pompeo’s comments refer to the heated negotiations surrounding the current SAG-AFTRA strike, with actors on Netflix shows claiming that they’re paid mere pennies in residuals, even if their show was a hit. As of July 2023, The Witcher Season 4 plans to start filming sometime in 2024. Still, even with the WGA strike, Netflix was initially intent on starting production in September 2023, but Redanian Intelligence reports that after SAG-AFTRA called for a strike as well, production plans were delayed until 2024. That meant writing for Season 5 could no longer begin. But fate threw a wrench into Netflix’s plans as the Writers Guild of America called for a strike on May 1, 2023. The development cycle for both seasons started back in Fall 2022 and by May 2023, the scripts for Season 4 were already in the bag, with Season 5 only having an outline. What’s the production status of The Witcher Season 4? How many seasons will there be?īack in September 2022, Redanian Intelligence reported that Netflix had plans to produce The Witcher Season 4 and Season 5 back to back. Other returning characters should include Bart Edwards as Emhyr var Emreis, Frances Pooley as Fake Ciri, Mahesh Jadu as Vilgefortz, Graham McTavish as Dijkstra and Hugh Skinner as Radovid. It’s the only strategy I can take at the moment because we don’t know what will happen in the future. In a new interview with Metro, Baginski also addressed how the team behind The Witcher feels about some portion of the audience boycotting the series because of the recast: But at the same time, it will be a new Geralt, it will be a new face for this character and I think it will also be very, very exciting to see.“ It’s very close to what was set out in the books and I think this change will be quite flawless. Not going deeply into those ideas because this will be a huge spoiler, it’s also very, very close to the meta ideas which are deeply embedded in the books, especially in book five. “ We have a very, very good plan to introduce our new Geralt and our new vision for Geralt with Liam. Speaking to various outlets, executive producer Tomek Baginski declared that the transition from Henry Cavill into Liam Hemsworth will be “flawless” and “very book-accurate”. Still, the people behind The Witcher have other plans. One would think that putting Liam Hemsworth in Geralt’s costume and calling it a day would be enough as that would be treating this as any other recast ever (including Sam Woolf replacing Christ Fulton as Rience in Season 3). In the same announcement, Liam Hemsworth was declared as Cavill’s replacement as Geralt of Rivia and since then there were many speculations as to how The Witcher would address that change. Henry Cavill’s exit was announced back in October 2022 and it took the entire Witcher fandom by surprise. ![]()
