The dual WGA and SAG-SAFTRA strikes need to be resolved by the end of this month if scripted primetime fare such as 9-1-1: Lone Star and The Cleaning Lady are to return with new episodes in the 2023-24 TV season, says Fox entertainment president Michael Thorn.

Sources tell TVLine that it will take scripted shows roughly eight weeks to get back into production once the strikes are resolved.

“You’re going get to a point in the fall, in the late fall, where it’s going to be very hard to launch [scripted shows] within the traditional TV viewing season,” Thorn told our sister site Deadline.

If the strikes are resolved later than October 1, that's where difficult scheduling decisions will have to be made.

“If that means the [delayed scripted] show could work and succeed in the summer [of 2024], great," Thorn said. Or, "If it’s better to wait for the fall and use football and sports" to promote/launch scripted seasons, "we’ll do that.

"You could use October 1 as the date" by which the writer and actor strikes need to be settled," Thorn added. "Every show is different but sometimes when you’re staring at a May launch date, you always wonder, 'Is that the best time" to premiere a season/series.

Fox's fall TV slate features one full night of scripted animated fare (on Sundays), while the rest of the week is rife with multiple Gordon Ramsay cooking competitions, new seasons of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, Name That Tune and The Masked Singer, 9-1-1: Lone Star reruns, the new, David Spade-hosted Snake Oil game show, and, of course, Friday Night SmackDown.

But whenever the magical day comes for live-action scripted fare to return to our screens, "we’re going to return those shows with vigor,” Thorn avowed. “We really pride ourselves on 'less is more' and we were fortunate to be able to really put our money where our mouth is in that regard. When we return, Animal Control is going to get the full backing of this far-reaching platform [as will] John Wells’ new show, Rescue: Hi-Surf, when we launch it.”
