Apple reported almost $400 billion in revenue,” tweeted WGA captain Olga Lexell. “The cost of settling is reasonable, so what is Apple waiting for?”Members also shared stories of how Apple TV+ has frequently employed the use of minirooms, which require showrunners to hire staff for a writers room to write more scripts for a series before it is even greenlit.
Several writers say that they have done the same amount of work in minirooms as they would for a traditional room, only to see their projects not get greenlit.
And one WGA member Julia Fontana, says she still hasn’t even been paid, detailing her plight in a Twitter thread. “I agreed to take scale, which I hadn’t done since the start of my career, because the showrunner was a friend and I LOVED his premise,” Fontana recounted. “After the room wrapped, each writer spent months writing and rewriting their ep, taking notes from the platform and talking to each other to make sure our eps tracked (the show was a period thriller mystery romance, so super serialized.)”Happy #BadApple Day from WGA members in Philadelphia!
