SAG-AFTRA, which launched a strike against Hollywood studios on July 14, launched its interim agreements program that allows independent productions with no direct ties to members of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to continue filming.
The guild has been adding to the list of projects granting waivers since soon after it went on strike against the AMPTP after failing to agree on a new film and TV contract.
Prominent projects on the list so far include Angel Studios’ Bible-based series The Chosen; the A24 films Mother Mary and I Dream of Unicorns and Apple TV+’s Tehran. Actors able to continue working under these agreements include Anne Hathaway, Dakota Fanning, Glenn Close, James Badge Dale, Ben Foster, Graham Greene and Melissa Leo among others.
Here’s the list organized by film and series based on the SAG-AFTRA list. Keep checking back as more titles are added:
