After 100 days, the writers strike, which began November 5, is now officially over. More than 90% of the writers who voted agreed to come back to work. Aside from a handful of reality shows, pretty much everybody lost in this battle. We can expect the returning shows to take 4-8 weeks to return with new episodes, and in most cases, we can expect about 4-6 new episodes before the season ends. With that in mind, some shows just simply won’t be worth starting up again until fall, while those that were borderline to begin with may not be worth starting again at all.
The whole situation is still entirely unclear. Once the showrunners, who returned to work yesterday, are able to sit down with the networks, we may get a clearer picture of what the TV landscape will look like over the days or weeks to come.
