Getting Back to Work
USA Today has an article about shows resuming their production schedules soon. Here’s a quote from the article:
Ed Bernero, executive producer of CBS’ Criminal Minds, says the show won’t need to start from scratch; it already has story lines approved and drafts written from before the strike. “For us, it’ll kind of be like we went home on a Friday and came back Monday, and we’re up and running. We should be shooting by mid-next week.”
And this from City News:
Some shows had scripts in development when the halt came in November. They have a distinct advantage. One, like “Criminal Minds” was almost ready to go with two stories before the plug was pulled. “We didn’t have to break down our sets,” explains co-executive producer Chris Mundy. “We’re luckier than most.”
This is good news - maybe the wait for new episodes won’t be too too long. Some shows didn’t fare so well and won’t be back this season, if ever. But at least we’ll be seeing new stuff from Criminal Minds. USA Today also has an article about what will happen after the strike ends officially.
