For nearly five months, WGA writers have been on strike, with scribes in Los Angeles and New York regularly hitting picket lines to show their solidarity and support for their guild.

With so much going on, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed…or like you’re missing out. Enter sisters—and writing partners—Shawna and Julie Benson (THE 100 and STAR TREK: PRODIGY).
The duo launched a Twitch account, and have regularly streamed live from the picket lines, bringing fans into the thick of things since the early days of the WGA strike.

Joe Henderson Shares How LUCIFER Can Be a Template for Streaming Shows Post-Strike

LUCIFER was a rarity of a show: The Tom Ellis-led procedural drama started on Fox, performing solidly…but still got canceled at the end of season 3. Then Netflix swooped in, ordering season 4 and then an intended final fifth season…only for the streamer to decide it actually wanted season 6, too, which served as the end-end of the series.
And though half of the series was produced for a streaming platform, the LUCIFER bosses were able to replicate much of the traditional network production process for the show during its entire run.
“We were very lucky,” LUCIFER co-showrunner Joe Henderson tells Give Me My Remote. “We were a network show that went on to streaming and we kept our exact model, which means that we overlapped the writers’ room with production. And I think that proves it works.”

When QUANTUM LEAP returns for season 2, the show picks up in the aftermath of Ben (Raymond Lee) attempting to jump home.
“I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that Ben doesn’t leap home,” showrunner Martin Gero previously shared. “And so for us, it’s exciting because it’s kind of unknown territory. This first season, Ben, Janis, and Future!Ian, they didn’t know exactly where he was going to land as he went, but they kind of had a path plotted. Whereas now, we don’t have that. So it’s very much more in keeping with the original show, where Ben is kind of just in the great unknown of time. And where he’s gonna go next and why is kind of a mystery. There was always something kind of mystic in the first incarnation of the show, and I think we get back into that in a real way in season 2.”
Cehck out the new trailer for season 2, as Ben visits Egypt in 1961, 1992’s Koreatown (AKA the Los Angeles Riots), 1949’s New Mexico (AKA a UFO?!), the witch trials in 1692 Massachusetts, and more… Read more
