History

Historical Context

The Writers Guild of America strike began on November 5 2007 and ended February 12 2008 after 100 days, forcing ABC and NBC to slash episode orders by up to 30 percent and prompting shows like Lost to cut seasons from 22 to 12 episodes. That precedent of abrupt disruptions now echoes in Dylan Walsh’s 2027 series, which hints at a shortened, split-season order after a viral controversy.
