London CNN —As a host of Hollywood actors join film and TV writers in a strike against major studios and streaming services, filming and production of some popular shows – including “House of the Dragon” and “Industry” – could continue, due to UK strike laws.
A source with knowledge of the productions confirmed to CNN that both are Equity contract shows.
Actors are calling for increased pay as well as progress on residuals paid for when films or shows are shown again, particularly on streaming services.
They join 11,000 members of the Writers Guild of America, who have been on strike for two months.
Production of many movies and television shows has already been shut down by the current writers’ strike, and the actors’ strike threatens to bring most remaining productions to a halt, other than on some independent films not associated with studios.
