Screen Actors Guild members will be able to continue their work in 'The Chosen,' despite the fact that their union is currently in a massive strike.
The show's official Twitter account tweeted as the strike began that it would"wait and hope that either the strike ends , or that we’re granted an exemption and can resume filming."
The account went on to add, in reference to a popular Bible story about a small amount of loaves and fishes miraculously feeding a massive crowd,"Yes, it’s upsetting and will cost time and money…but we bring our 5 loaves & 2 fish. God handles the rest." Soon after, Entertainment Weekly reported,"SAG-AFTRA granted the series an exemption from the strike because it's an independently funded production with few ties to the the [sic] Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers , the representative body of the studios that SAG-AFTRA is striking against.The show's Twitter account announced that SAG had negotiated an agreement with them, due to the nature of their production’s funding.
"Update: Great news! We just received word from SAG that we have been approved for a waiver. We’ll continue shooting on Monday," the account explained."To be clear: 1. We’ve agreed to all of SAG’s requests and their interim agreement. 2. Season 4 is entirely independent and 100% funded by donations."
