Since May 2, 2023, a series of ongoing labor disputes within the film and television industries of the United States has been taking place, mainly focused on the strikes of the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA. It is the second time two Hollywood labor unions are striking simultaneously — the first having occurred in 1960 – and as such, the American news media has named this phenomenon the "Hollywood double strike", and is expected to surpass the 1960 dual strike as well.
