While the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes continue, Ryan Murphy has committed to donating to help the cast and crew of his many shows, including American Horror Story. Murphy is a prolific behind-the-scenes figure in Hollywood, having served for decades as a writer, producer, and director of countless TV shows. Besides the ongoing horror anthology show American Horror Story, Murphy has worked on 9-1-1, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Glee, and many more projects.
With Hollywood on hold for the duration of the strikes, Murphy is standing by the people who have worked with him in the past. Though American Horror Story season 12 is set to release on FX in a couple weeks, the producer is looking to protect his workers affected by the ongoing strikes. The Ryan Murphy Productions Instagram page announced a new assistance fund that will help striking workers. Check out the post below:
The fund will begin at $500,000 and will work towards supporting those struggling to make a living in the wake of the strikes. Cast and crew members of Murphy’s shows, both past and present, simply need to input their personal affiliation and monetary needs to apply for support.
How Long Will The Strikes Last
American Horror Story‘s cast will be appearing on screens in the September 20 release of American Horror Story: Delicate. Unfortunately, the writers and actors themselves will not have the opportunity to promote the show. As the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike continues, Hollywood remains on hold. The cast and writers are restricted to the picket lines, where they continue to await a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).
The WGA strike began on May 2, while SAG-AFTRA joined the writers on July 14. Since then, progress has been slow, as studios and producers are prepared to take a substantial financial hit before allowing the workers what they demand. For both striking groups, these demands largely include higher payment with better structures to match the streaming market, protection against AI, and particular details about better working conditions. Specifically, the WGA is seeking writers’ rooms and SAG-AFTRA requires better protections as the TV release model shifts.
