New images have revealed the complete demolition of the Wicked set, which was left abandoned after the cast were forced to stop filming with just 10 days remaining.
The highly-anticipated project came to a halt when the majority of its stars, including Ariana Grande, joined the Hollywood picket lines as part of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Drone photos previously showed the seemingly abandoned set when the strike initially began, with the yellow brick road through the vibrant, thatch-roofed town gathering dust.
Now, new photos appear to show the set, located in Bedfordshire, UK, being fully dismantled, with large containers scattered across the once bright neighborhood.
Several of the thatch-roofed homes have been completely removed, and some containers seem to be filled with pieces of the broken-down properties.
Although some of the unique homes still stand, only parts of the yellow brick road can be seen among the debris on the previously bustling set.
On one side of the set, the scaffolding that previously supported a few houses and a portion of the synthetic landscape is now exposed, with cranes targeting the remaining standing homes.
The Daily Mail previously reported that the production had only 10 days left of filming when the strikes began just three weeks ago.
The adaptation is planned to be released in two parts, with the first part premiering in November next year. Director Jon M Chu assured fans that the strike would not affect this release date, despite filming not being completed.
The 30-year-old pop icon, who portrays Glinda the Good Witch, expressed support for the strikes despite the setbacks they may cause, by sharing news of the protests last month.
Under strike conditions, current and potential SAG-AFTRA union members are unable to continue or negotiate any acting work.
This stipulation has led to much of Hollywood being put on hold, and another rule states that actors cannot promote any projects that have already finished filming, which has already impacted recent releases such as Oppenheimer and Disney’s Haunted Mansion.
