Canada’s film and television industry is facing further uncertainty due to an impending strike by Hollywood actors. The strike by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) could result in job losses, disruptions to TV schedules, and a decrease in star-studded events like the Toronto International Film Festival. The strike comes as Canadian sets with SAG actors are still recovering from the effects of a Writers Guild of America strike. Events like TIFF and Fan Expo Canada are also at risk of being impacted by the strike. The industry is urging for a swift resolution to minimize the damage caused by the strike. However, the impact on these events remains unclear, as some SAG members may choose to stay away out of solidarity. The strike is expected to have ripple effects on Canadian film and TV shoots, as many of them are US productions that employ a significant number of local talent and crew. While some Canadian shows with exclusively Canadian casts may not be affected, unannounced Canadian projects involving SAG actors could face setbacks. The Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists has expressed solidarity with SAG, recognizing that their fight is also for the benefit of all performers. The strike could potentially disrupt fall TV plans, causing delays for the return of popular titles. This may open up opportunities for Canadian shows to fill the gaps in broadcasting schedules.
