We’re about three weeks into the writers strike—hardly enough time to feel the absence of the Jimmys (and Seth and Stephen) on late-night TV—and the only question anyone in Hollywood is asking is, when’s it going to end? Natalie Jarveyis gaming out a few possible scenarios, from the best case to the very worst—in which writers don’t get back to work until December. And if things stretch that long, the WGA stoppage could well be compounded by similar strikes from SAG-AFTRA and the Directors Guild. “If either of the other unions strike,” Jarvey portends, “scripted shows could start going off the air and movies planned for next year and beyond could get pushed back.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Julianne Escobedo Shepherd profiles Aubrey Plaza for VF’s June TV issue; Julie Miller goes deepwith Kieran Culkin about Sunday’s penultimate episode of Succession; Jude Law tells Rebecca Ford about how he transformed into Henry VIII for his Cannes premiere, Firebrand; and David Zaslav finds himself less than welcomed during a mid-strike commencement speech.
