Is the writer's strike really over? When will new episodes of the office air!
Question: The vote that ended Tuesday was a lift for the show runners to resume work again on Wednesday. The real vote to finalize the deal will be in about a week.
"If the strike-ending vote passes, the writers will return to work on Wednesday. And as a show of good faith, many powerful show runners -- the writer/producers who are in charge of scripted television series like "Grey's Anatomy" and "CSI" -- will return to work today to resume their non-writing duties (editing, for example).
Once the strike officially ends, the television networks will have some complicated decisions to make about which shows to put back into production, and for how many episodes."
As for The Office, "If the strike is called off, we are planning to do another six episodes this season," said Greg Daniels, show runner for NBC's "The Office." In a NY Times article, he says they may be able to do seven if NBC asks.
The first new episode will be April 10th and it will "Dinner Party." Many of the actors had commented on this episode, saying that they had done a table-reading for it just before the strike began, and thought it was one of the funniest episodes yet.
