With the imminent SAG strike, major productions are set to be impacted.
Hollywood as we know it, is slowly being brought to its knees. For a couple of months now, the Writer's Guild of America had embarked on a so-far impactful strike action. The decision by the WGA had seen progress on a number of big-budget projects and now the industry is bracing for yet another impact. Actors are getting set to join writers on the picket line as an SAG-AFTRA strike is imminent.
When actors join the picket line, it will mark the first time in well over 60 years, that both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have embarked on a dual strike, the last time being in 1960. While a number of projects are sure to be affected by these developments, per Variety, Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 will not be affected. Praise Eru Ilúvatar. Based on the critically acclaimed novels by famed author J.R.R.
The revelation will be a welcome one for fans of the show and all those who long for Middle Earth. It is also consistent with previous coverage around the many delays that the second season has endured. With the exception of the WGA strike and how it affected the show, without Payne and McKay on-set, The Rings of Power's second season has also endured an on-set fire and a horse fatality.
RELATED: 'The Rings of Power' Season 2: Release Window, New Cast, Filming, and Everything We Know So Far The Cost of The Rings of Power The Rings of Power has proven to be a pretty expensive investment for Amazon so far. At $58 million earmarked per episode, and a staggering estimated cost of $462 million for the first season, the show struggling to retain its viewership in the first season might be a worry. However, with multiple seasons already mapped out and the in-depth quality of Tolkien's work, the studio can hope that the investment begins to yield returns, and it certainly can.
