With the green light to resume production, TV studios wasted no time and immediately began preparing for the filming of their highly anticipated series. Casts and crews have started receiving notifications with tentative start dates, most of which fall in late November or early December.
Leading the post-strike production revival is NBC/Warner Bros TV’s popular show, NIGHT COURT.
