‘The Peripheral’ Canceled at Amazon Despite Season 2 Renewal
Amazon cancelled the show despite renewing it already for season 2 and the reason they’re citing: WGA & SAG strikes and the show won’t be ready till the 2025 season.
They also killed the new season of A League Of Their Own.
Get ready, I’m predicting we will see a LOT of this not only on the streaming services but on the networks.
Do not believe David Zaslav when he says Warner Bros. Discovery saved 100 million dollars because of the strike. This should be an immediate propaganda red flag for everyone. It's all spin to attempt to give the studios more negotiating power with #SAG and the #WGA
They didn’t save $100 million. These are the same people who call unrealized gains losses. This is just that, but inverted. They are lying. #SAGStrike#WGAStrike
After having served military since 1998 in both #Army and #USAF, I'm retiring this Fall. I've noticed a lot of full circle moments in my life this year. One, unfortunate but very necessary, has been the current strike you've seen/read about.
The sliver in my career between Army and USAF, I was a #UnionPlumber up in Seattle. 15yrs ago was the last SAG strike. I put together a video that was presented at our Union Hall for solidarity.
The charts/graphs shown in this MSNBC clip confirms my view that the people in the TV and movie industry (studios, producers, directors, writers, actors, etc.) are fighting for a piece of a massively shrunken pie in this age of streaming.
@GottaLaff During the show I asked Frances Fisher & Sean Astin what message they want to get through that's being blocked by the corporate media during the #SAGAFTRA strike.
The whole show is filled with stories from David Jolliffe explaining what's going on & what they want.

Stop blaming strikes for economic damage. Strikes are a logical response to overreach and greed from corporations and the wealthy. If there is resulting economic damage, look to those who drove the workers to strike in the first instance.
Worker/artist owned cooperative — with distribution, to tell their own stories. Images below.
Workers, writers, and artists start a cooperative production company
They license/option existing stories to the company (which they own together!) and put stories on a website where audiences can access them
Stories can be scripts, treatments, readings, storyboards — it's great material in those formats, and people will dive into those stories just the same
Share the website (distribution!) with followings, along with a way to subscribe
You now have a worker/writer/artist owned cooperative, with distribution, stories, and an audience!
More details in the images below, made as a guide/resource to be helpful.
Performers should absolutely have some control over their digital likeness. An unfortunate side effect of the #SAGstrike (from a #vfx standpoint) is that getting actors and extras into the "cyberscan" or photo booth for digital double reference capture is going to be a whole lot messier going forward. I completely understand the concerns, but oof. Actors: On-set VFX teams are really not out to screw you over. Just trying to make the audience believe you did that impossible stunt for real.
Just finishing up cancelling our streaming subscriptions, to support striking workers. #WGAstrike#sagstrike
Many have offered extremely steep discounts (over 50% off) for loooong periods, like 3-6 months. IDK if these offers are a specific response to people cancelling in support of strikers, or what.
Either way, seems clear we've been overcharged by corps by at least 50% this whole time. So that's interesting.
