    Writers strike likely affected scripts…

    Not to mention SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing…

    So I imagine it will push back season 5 by some months, possibly til 2025

      Animated television writers are in another guild, one that signed a new contract over a year ago. Neither the WGA or SAG-ACTRA strikes have impacted them.

        Thanks, didn’t know that

        I thought I read that voice actors joined the SAG strike, so that complicated things

          That poster is wrong I’m afraid. Though not every job in animation was impacted (some were non-union, some accepted the interim agreements) Lower Decks definitely was. The cast is all SAG and all struck.

        SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.
