Freeform’s ‘Good Trouble’ Halts Production Due To WGA Picketing
deadline.comProduction on Freeform’s Good Trouble fifth season was halted for the day as a result of WGA picketing. Deadline understands that the series was shooting on location Agua Dulce, north of Los Angeles, when IATSE and Teamsters refused to cross the picket line.
It was an early-morning start, and we hear that picketing began around 4 a.m. and the set was closed around 9:30 a.m. It comes on the sixth day of the WGA strike, which has seen thousands of writers take to the streets of Hollywood and New York in protest to the studios’ offer.
A crew of 8 WGA picketers spoke to multiple drivers who approached the line for information and then later formed a large line with their vehicles in solidarity.
The situation on site was peaceful and there was overwhelming support from the WGA’s sister unions, sources tell Deadline. No teamster trucks crossed the line while picketing was ongoing.
