The union has signed interim agreements with AMC Studios to resume production on ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,’ and ‘The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live,’ as well as ‘Interview With the Vampire,’ which all premiere in 2024.
Apparently, some productions are immune to the SAG-AFTRA strike. The union has signed agreements with AMC for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, and the Interview With the Vampire series to allow production to continue despite the ongoing actor’s strike, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
AMC Networks is not an Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) member but is “authorized” with the alliance and therefore agrees to comply with contracts between AMPTP and industry unions. So far, the interim contracts only include the three aforementioned series, but no other AMC Studios shows.
While the three shows are the highest-profile televised projects to gain interim agreements, several hundred other productions have also been allowed to resume, many of them with independent developers. Although fans of either franchise may be excited at the news, SAG-AFTRA has been accused of going against the spirt of the strike, which is attempting to use a total industry shut down as leverage in negotiations.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, and Interview with the Vampire will premiere in 2024.
