More than 11,000 TV and film writers have been on strike for over a month now, demanding equitable pay and working conditions in the streaming era. With streaming executives raking in massive profits, these writers believe that they deserve a fair share of the revenue generated by the shows and movies they create. The strike has raised issues that parallel those examined on the HBO show “Succession,” whose writers are among the 11,500 members of the Writers Guild of America East and West participating in the strike. In an interview, series creator Jesse Armstrong expressed his support for the strike, emphasizing the working conditions required to produce great shows like “Succession.” One of the key issues at stake is the use of “mini-rooms” by executives to hire a smaller staff composed of fewer writers working for a shorter duration, which can adversely affect the quality of the show and the careers of writers. Another issue is that the work of writers doesn’t end with writing the scripts, as they are often present on set to make adjustments during filming. For the show’s writers and actors, these conditions illustrate the need for equitable pay and working conditions for all writers. Armstrong also discussed the “Succession” series finale in detail and why character growth wasn’t necessary for the narrative through the Fresh Air interview.
