For several months now, the Hollywood writers' strike has been paralyzing film and series production, and it's not going to get any better with the actors' strike, who have joined the movement. Discover the list of films and series whose release has been postponed and their new release date.
Hollywood is at a standstill! Not for decades has there been a work stoppage of this magnitude. At first, only the screenwriters were on strike, but since July 14, the actors have also shown their anger by stopping work. And there's no end in sight!
