i've only ever seen the 1st season of iwtv through gifs on tumblr (insane to watch the second season without watching the first i know) so my dear mutual @quiet-longing dropped some lore to me yesterday that apparently claudia asked who's going to fuck me to lestat and louis and this was my reaction.

The WGA Strike and Interview With The Vampire Season 2

So I’ve decided to put together all my posts and info about the 2023 Writer’s Strike, and how IWTV Season 2 is -- and isn’t -- affected by it. 

First, mainly, you can find the Rules and Guidelines the WGA has laid out about the 2023 strike here: https://www.wgacontract2023.org/strike/strike-rules  

Now, 10 important points to know:

1. Please no one worry or panic about Season 3 right now. Not only has Season 3 not officially been green-lit by AMC yet, no announcement about it will happen until the strike is over . . . or at the very least until Season 2 finishes airing, whichever comes first.

2. Even while on strike, the writers can’t write a single word of Season 3, even in their own time. So nobody who writes or works for the show is working on Season 3 in any way, shape, or form at the moment. If you hear any supposed “rumors” or chatter about Season 3 during the strike, all that stuff is BS. There will be no story-breaking, writing, casting, or anything else going on for Season 3 until the strike is over. To do any of that stuff during the strike would be breaking the rules the WGA has set up wrt the strike. 

3. The WGA is NOT negotiating their new contract with each studio individually. IWTV has not made a separate deal with AMC regarding the production of Season 2 either. I think this is something that has people confused when they hear that some productions are still filming, or are about to start filming. NONE of these productions, including IWTV, have done individual studio deals. No production can just go to their individual studio and make a separate agreement with them -- that would be considered crossing the picket line, as it is against the Rules and Guidelines the WGA has laid out about the strike.

4. When it comes to collective bargaining about a new contract with the WGA, the studios are represented by a collective group known as the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers). That is who the WGA is negotiating about all of this with, NOT the individual studios directly.

5. The scripts for IWTV Season 2 were all finished before the deadline of May 1, 2023. Any and all scripts, industry-wide, that were finished being written for any shows or movies headed into production or being filmed right now before the May 1st deadline, can all be used for production, even during the strike. Because those scripts all fall under the old contract(s) the WGA had with the AMPTP.

6. If anyone says that the production of Season 2 is shutting down because of the writer’s strike, they are either just uninformed or they are purposefully lying to sew discord and FUD. To be frank, the WGA does not control if a show or movie can go into production or not. The studios are the ones who green-light those things, not the WGA, even during the strike. What you have to pay attention to is when the script for the show or movie that is going into production was written. Because if it was written after May 1, 2023, then it was clearly either written by an AI generator and/or a scab writer. And those are the movies/shows you want to avoid watching.  

7. AMC saying they aren’t worried or affected by what’s going on simply means that either all the new seasons for their upcoming shows were already finished with production before the strike happened, or all the scripts for their shows were done being written before May 1, 2023. IWTV falls under the second point -- all the scripts for Season 2 were done long before May 1, 2023.

8. When a show is in production during the strike, WGA members can NOT do rewriters to any of the scripts the production is using. Doing any rewriters to any scripts would be considered breaking the strike rules. However, that rule only applies to WGA members. A member of the WGA can’t do rewrites of scripts that are being produced. However, if an actor -- who is NOT a WGA member -- wants to ad-lib something while filming, that would NOT be considered a rewrite that breaks strike rules.

9. WGA members can’t be on the set for any productions during this time unless they are what’s known as a “Hyphenate.” A Hyphenate is someone who is designated, and credited, as a writer-producer, writer-director, writer-actor, etc. These people can only be on set in their Hyphenate role (producer, director, actor, etc.,) but not in their writer roles. Rolin Jones, who is a WGA member, is a writer-producer for IWTV, so he can be on set, if he chooses to be, in his producer role. He just has to be very careful about what he says and does while on set. In fact, he probably can’t talk much at all, going by what went on during the last strike for those who were on set in Hyphenate roles. I’ll go more into this specifically below.*

10. IWTV is not breaking the picket line or any of the WGA strike rules by continuing to film Season 2. Again, because the scripts they are using for Season 2 were finished before the strike deadline, (the word at the moment is that the scrips were all finished -- or being finished up -- around Dec 2022/Jan 2023) the show filming Season 2 is not going against the strike or breaking any rules to do so.

* * * * *

* So because he is what is known as a Hyphenate then yes, Rolin Jones can still be on set if he wants to, but only just in his producer role. This is the same thing that was allowed during the 2007-08 strike.

The guidelines laid out by the WGA for Hyphenates specify that no written or verbal adjustment can be made by them if they are on set during filming, under Rule 12. 

Hyphenates (i.e. members employed in dual capacities such as writer-director, writer-producer, writer-performer, etc.) are prohibited from performing any writing services, including “(a) through (h)” services, for a struck company. The MBA defines (a) through (h) services as follows:

h. Instructions, directions, or suggestions, whether oral or written, made to a writer regarding story or screenplay.

This was a rule that was also in place for Hyphenates during the 2007-08 WGA strike. 

However, if he wishes to, Rolin can approve or disapprove of the actors or even the director wanting to change or tweak a line or something, by nodding or shaking his head.  

Writer Alex Kurtzman talked about having to do things like this -- because of what was allowed and not allowed -- during the 2007-08 writers' strike. They had just started production of the 2009 Star Trek movie when that strike hit, and Kurtzman was allowed to be on set because he was an Executive Producer of the film but, as a co-writer of the film as well, he had to be extremely careful about what he said and did while there. 

The nodding or shaking his head regarding on-set dialogue changes - but not verbally saying yes or no about them - was one of those things he could do.

So, because the 2023 rules did not talk about that as something that would be against the rules this time, that means Rolin Jones can still get away with doing the head nodding and head shaking stuff that went on during the last writer’s strike when it comes to small changes/adjustments if he wants to, but nothing else. 

As noted above, none of the other writers for the show can be on set unless they are there in some other role, such as if they are a co-producer or something like that, and there in that role. (Though, in the words of one of the former Buffy writers, co usually means not when it comes to that credit). 

I, personally, don’t think any of the other ITWV writers will be on set or in the writer’s room for the show -- wherever it is -- in any way. That’s usually what the majority of writers who also got Hyphenate credits like co-producer chose to do, while the most major Hyphenate (usually the showrunner and maybe one other Hyphenates person on the writing staff) did remain on set. 

Also, Rolin probably has cut off talking to any of the other writers in any professional way, in fact, just to make sure nothing that he may talk with them about could be considered crossing the picket line.

* * * * * *

So, IWTV fandom, please try and relax about Season 2 and Season 3 as much as you can. Season 2 still being filmed isn’t breaking any of the strike rules or breaking picket lines. 

And Season 3, if it is ever announced as officially green-lit by AMC, is not going into any form of production until the strike is over and done. Because it actually can’t unless AMC is prepared to really use AI or scab writers to begin production of a Season 3. Because otherwise, there will be zero writing that can be done for a Season 3, let alone casting or anything else, until the strike is over. 

The whole industry knew this strike was a possibility by at least February 2023. Rolin Jones and the writers had weeks to prepare for it happening and likely had a plan in place just in case. The actors likely all knew a strike was possible as well, and worked to figure out anything they needed to before it happened as well.

I learned the iwtv show (1st season) is on hoopla so I might watch it
