Historic dual strike by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, last endured in 1960, gets ready to bring the global film and TV industry to its knees, the worst-case narrative dreaded for months, is becoming crushing reality.

Talks between the U.S. actors union and Hollywood’s collective bargaining agent, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, broke down Wednesday after a turbulent 12-day period of extended negotiations.

The U.K. has seen noticeable slowdown in production in recent months, but the reverberations of U.S. labor strife are sending clear message about the state of local productions.

International productions led by SAG-AFTRA talent have worked to wrap filming ahead of potential strike. Sky drama “Mary & George,” starring Julianne Moore, completed its U.K. shoot earlier this summer, while Season 2 of Prime Video’s big-budget “Rings of Power” also wrapped few weeks back.

In France, Jacques Audiard’s musical thriller Emilia Perez, starring Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña, wrapped shooting last week in Paris.

But FX’s “Alien,” a series adaptation of the “Alien” franchise written by Noah Hawley and Ridley Scott, is in pre-production in Thailand. The show will be large-scale undertaking booked out multiple Bangkok studios and hired lighting equipment.

However, a mix of SAG-AFTRA and Equity members comprise the cast mean that production will need to work around absence of key members.

Season 3 of HBO’s “White Lotus” series is slated to shoot in Thailand — another major shoot that would employ SAG-AFTRA members. While the show is already paused due to  writers strike, the impact of actors strike means it could be delayed even further.

Gladiator 2

Other major shoots set to pause production due to the actors strike include the Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal-starring Gladiator 2, which was filming in Morocco, and martial arts sequel “Mortal Kombat 2,” in Australia.

Day of the Jackal

Sky and Peacock series “The Day of the Jackal,” starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch, has been shooting in Central and Eastern Europe and is likely to take a break.

Australia is another territory that’s home to “runaway productions.” The country has talent who are members of local guilds as well as SAG-AFTRA. Similar to the situation faced by British actors, it’s unlikely Aussie stars will jeopardize their Hollywood careers by being strike breakers.

Production in France, where streamers such as Netflix film some of their popular European originals, has been disrupted.

Season 4 of Emily in Paris was to start filming in late summer or early fall, but the shoot was delayed until October due to writers strike. The actors strike will postpone the shoot even further, and prompt change in filming locations as the Cité du Cinema, the studio of the first 3 seasons, has been booked for the Olympic Games from December 1 through to October 1, 2024.

Prime Video ballet drama “Étoile” from “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” creators Amy Sherman and Daniel Palladino, and Apple TV+ period drama “The New Look,” about the meteoric rise of French fashion designer Christian Dior, and stars Ben Mendelsohn and Juliette Binoche. The latter show is due to start filming in November, but scripts are still awaiting sign off.
