Robert De Niro`s series `Zero Day` is the latest project to be hit by a writers` strike in Hollywood. According to Variety, the Netflix series which marks Robert De Niro`s first regular television role has shut down production. The series had recently begun production in New York but is now on hold amid the ongoing writers` strike. There is currently no set date for work to resume on the show.
More than 11,000 members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) began the strike in May, claiming they aren`t paid fairly in the streaming era."Though we negotiated intent on making a fair deal ... the studios` responses to our proposals have been wholly insufficient, given the existential crisis writers are facing," said a statement from the union leadership."They have closed the door on their labor force and opened the door to writing as an entirely freelance profession. No such deal could ever be contemplated by this membership."
