It could mess up the last season of Cobra Kai. They were supposed to start filming it this month.

.....What happened last strike?

The last writers' strike in 2007-2008 lasted 100 days and cost the California economy $2bn (£1.6bn) due to many cancelled and delayed shows.

Big fan favourites like Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, Breaking Bad and The Office were all impacted. Other shows went on without their writers, but their quality was significantly impacted.

Even a James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, suffered. The movie's script had barely been written when the strike began.

"There was me trying to rewrite scenes - and a writer I am not," Bond star Daniel Craig said at the time.

Similar to this strike, late-night shows also felt the most immediate effect without the help of writers drafting their scripts and jokes.

One host, Conan O'Brien, went on air and simply spun his wedding ring for as long as possible in solidarity with the striking writers.

Some have credited the last strike for boosting the prominence of reality TV, like Donald Trump's The Apprentice and Keeping Up with the Kardashians, as those shows do not require any pre-writing.

Back then, many daytime soap operas stayed on air with non-union writers. This time, the Writers Guild has warned that any writers that break the strike will be banned from future membership.

The last strike, however, was not the longest: a Writers Guild strike in 1988 lasted 153 days.

As for how long this current strike will last, it is anybody's guess.....
