A trio of supernatural dramas will resume production at AMC.
According to Deadline, Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live have secured interim agreements with SAG-AFTRA.
The news means that all three shows can resume production to meet their 2024 return dates on the cable network.
Interim agreements have handed to some productions since the SAG-AFTRA strike began seven weeks ago, but this is the highest-profile on the TV front.
AMC is not participating in negotiations with SAG-AFTRA, possibly clearing the path for more of the cabler's shows to be granted interim agreements.
Productions that sign the agreements agree to terms that are in line with the union’s most recent contract proposal to studios and streamers during negotiations.
AMC hasn't had as much of a knock-on effect from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes as some of the other networks.
Shows like Dark Winds Season 2, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 1, and more were in the can before the strike action.
While Daryl Dixon recently scored a renewal for Season 2, it actually went into production earlier this year and is thought to be almost complete.
The news for The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is a little surprising because there was word that filming on the limited series had been completed earlier this year.
Then again, it's possible that some cameos are being filmed for an epilogue for the series. It's also possible that it's been quietly renewed.
Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira hinted that this would be their final time playing Rick and Michonne, respectively, but like anything in the industry, that could change,
Fans of Daryl Dixon will be able to watch the first season of the Norman Reedus-led spinoff next month.
