Saturday Night Live should get pretty much a full season after the writers and the studios reached an agreement to end the strike.
The NBC show had Season 48 cut short by three episodes when the writers walked out at the beginning of May.
The show, which traditionally restarts at the very end of September or the beginning of October, is now likely to return on either October 7 or 14, pending a vote by the WGA.
Essentially, the WGA negotiating committee are expected to recommend the agreement and send it to the WGA West Board and WGA East Council for a vote, likely scheduled for Tuesday. This could potentially lift the restraining order and allow writers return to work as the deal is waiting to be ratified.
After the 2007/08 strike ended on February 12, 2008, production commenced on Season 33 of SNL on February 18 for the February 23 episode. Former SNL cast member and 30 Rock star Tina Fey hosted that episode with musical guest Carrie Underwood.
However, last time the actors weren’t also on strike, which throws in a few additional challenges.
SNL, like the daily late-night shows and reality shows such as Dancing with the Stars, is covered under SAG-AFTRA’s Network Code, which means that theoretically everyone could come back to work.
However, given SAG-AFTRA is still waiting to return to talks with the AMPTP and is still on strike, certain cast members may be unwilling to go back to work until that is resolved (which is thought to be at least 2/3 weeks away at the earliest).
Would the likes of Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Ego Nwodim, Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang – some of whom have been regularly seen on the picket lines – be willing to return under these circumstances? Will all of them return for Season
