The studio probably wouldn't go to this trouble if it didn't think the strikes were going to continue for a while
Suspending those deals means exactly what it sounds like: They’re on pause. The studio, in other words, isn’t going to pay for writers to come up with ideas when the WGA and SAG-AFTRA are on strike and nothing is being made anyway.
like Warner Bros. TV is just cutting its losses and suspending everything at this point—which is to say that the strikes are apparently working. If nothing else, it means the strike isn’t going to endVariety also notes that the studio would apparently be within its rights to kill deals like this outright at this point, citing the ongoing strike as an “act of god” that can’t be resolved . So it’s at least somewhat to the credit of the various AMPTP studios that they haven’t been doing a ton of that just yet. As it stands now, these deals will probably be unsuspended whenever the WGA strike ends, and any time lost during the pause will be re-added to the length of the deal.
