Here is the latest update on what impact the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes will have on your favorite TV and streaming shows. I'll be updating this page regularly as things change and more information becomes available.

ANIMATION
Because of the long-production cycle of most major-budget animated shows  - from script to finished episode can take as much as a year - it's unlikely any of your favorite shows will be impacted unless there is a very prolonged strike. But there are some outliers:
