The Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes leave the future of TV up in the air. Although the list of shows delayed by the strikes is indeed growing by the day, there is still scripted TV on the horizon.
Outlander, for example, began airing its seventh season on June 16 on Starz and airs its Part 1 finale in August. Jamie and Claire Fraser’s time-traveling love story continues with Season 7 Part 2 in 2024, which has already been filmed.
Justified: City Primeval, Miracle Workers, Foundation, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Good Omens, Heartstopper, and more have also returned, and there’s still a slew of shows still to come in 2023. Basically, any show that completed filming before the strike began can come out this upcoming season or in 2024. Streaming mostly complete filming before the show premieres, so a lot of the new TV will be from streaming platforms for the time being.
Come this fall, viewers will see the most stark absence on network TV, which still film episodes while the earlier parts of the seasons air. Still, there are network TV shows to look forward to this fall. Check out that list here. Additionally, the strikes mean that the actors in SAG can’t do any promotion for their shows, which will be a notable absence as these series start premiering in the coming weeks.
Here’s a handy list of upcoming TV premieres, including series debuts and returns, to remind yourself of what to look forward to in the coming months. (Keep checking back, as we’ll be updating it.)
