www.forbes.com: The number of TV writing jobs took a big hit during the 2023-24 season, according to new statistics released by the Writers Guild of America.
A combination of issues, including the 2023 writers’ strike, led to the downturn. While strike-impacted jobs may come back, the union indicated others may not—which could point to a long-term slowdown.

It's sad to see that after the writer’s strike the industry still isn't in a good place for writers in america. Writers are the backbone of the stories created for modern film and tv so it's not a good sign that many of them are unable to find work currently even though in 2025 opportunities should really be booming since streaming is bigger than ever.
All this did make sense when i heard that there were less wga covered series coming out compared to previous years, i've seen less original media coming out in general the last few months and i think it's because producers are scared that new media won't get enough viewers and in turn no profit so they don't want to take any risks for any new properties, instead they want to stick with what's safe and known to make big bucks which i think is a terrible thing for writers and the the state of film in general. Film needs new ideas in order to stay afloat and while revamped ideas may make money for a short while it's unrealistic to expect these revamped properties to continue to make money since eventually people will get tired of them thats why its important for writers to create new films and shows
