Hollywood is highly unionised. The writers are being paid.
Disney makes a lot of profit from Lucasfilm.
Workers are sick of being out of work.
Etc.
LA is more expensive to shoot in than London, Vancouver, Prague or Atlanta, and the crews there aren’t any better, the equipment and facilities aren’t better, it has an advantageous climate.
LA isn’t competing with the tax breaks elsewhere, and meanwhile the streaming age has matured into its profit-making phase, so the boom in production is over.
Oh that union must be new. Did you not hear about the strikes recently? Two years ago, and the job market still hasn’t recovered. In some shows they were winging it without writers.
And that’s separate from these weird “profit sharing” contracts they’ve been giving to actors in recent years too. Only to then do some creative bookkeeping and write down everything they do as a loss.
Doesn’t make hollywood rich, but it definitely makes the shareholders rich
You have misunderstood. Hollywood’s writers have been fully unionised since the 1930s. Shows were not winging it without writers, as showrunners were still supervising things as part of permitted work in their producorial capacity.
The job market won’t recover. That’s about market forces not strikes.

Ahh, in that case those are some meaningless darn unions. No wonder they had to go on strike
This comment makes me believe you don’t understand what unions are/do.
Feel free to bring an argument rather than attack my character. I’m covered by a union and it’s a lot less terrible
