Some cast members of join the actors strike for fair wages and better working conditions. Months after the Writers Guild of America's strike started, the SAG-AFTRA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) also failed to reach a deal. This resulted in an industry-wide work stoppage that has been supported by countless actors, including several long-time members of the ensemble.
The trio is joined by showrunner Erica Messer in support of the actors ongoing strike. All of them are expected to return to on Paramount+, which has been indefinitely delayed due writers and actors fighting for appropriate pay in the age of streaming.
Not long after it ended its 15-year run on CBS, the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit returned to the small screen via Paramount+'s . The streaming service's take on the police procedural is a continuation of its predecessor, albeit gorier and darker.
Had season 2 stuck with its original timetable, the show would have been ready to release sometime later this 2023, following in the footsteps of its debut year. Now, everything is dependent on when both WGA and SAG-AFTRA are able to reach a settlement with studios.
However, there is no timetable for when these issues will be resolved. Until then, writers and actors are in unison asking for fair wages and better working conditions for them.
The overall seems to have already been decided. The season 1 finale effectively lays the groundwork for what's to come for the BAU with the introduction of the Gold Star mystery. Beyond that, viewers are also holding out hope that old actors such as Matthew Gray Gubler and Daniel Henney finally return as Spencer Reid and Matt Simmons.
