With the WGA strike now over, the real work of the television season can begin. Writers for dozens of scripted television shows are headed back to the respective writers rooms, ready to work on the 2023-2024 season.
Per Deadline, several shows will see their writers headed back to work tomorrow. These include 9-1-1 (ABC), Criminal Minds: Evolution (Parmount+), and Grey’s Anatomy (ABC), as well as FOX’s venerable trio of animated series The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob’s Burgers.
Also slated to start work on scripts next week are Abbott Elementary (ABC), Alert (FOX), Animal Control (FOX), The Cleaning Lady (FOX), Fire Country (CBS), Ghosts (CBS), NCIS (CBS), The Neighborhood (CBS), Rescue: Hi-Surf (FOX), The Sex Lives of College Girls (Max), Yellowjackets (Showtime), and Young Sheldon (CBS).
Dick Wolf’s FBI (CBS), Law & Order (NBC), and Law & Order: SVU (NBC) are also hoping to start work on scripts this week.
As for HBO, the cable network looks forward to kicking off production on new seasons of The Last Of Us, The White Lotus, and Euphoria. All three shows were set to begin production over the summer but were delayed due to the strikes.
It isn’t known when the 2023-24 scripted season will fully kick off, but those in the industry have suggested a midseason launch in January is possible.

No Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard.
Rest in peace David McCallum
Rest in peace Ducky
Excited to see FBI NCIS LAW nd ordet
I cannot wait for new episodes of The Cleaning Lady, TRANSPLANT, Fire Country, and FBI International — and of course, all the NCIS family!
Haven’t ever watched NCIS but the rest, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Don’t really care they’ve been gone so long I forgot what they’re all about.
Grey’s Anatomy has gone downhill the past couple years! It’s so bad that I don’t even watch it anymore.
I completely threw the towel in mid season 15. And checked season 18 to see if it improved. It didn’t.
