Every Cast Reunion at the SAG-AFTRA Strike Picket Line: From 'This Is Us' to 'Shameless'

Actors and writers of Us Weekly's favorite shows and movies have been reuniting on the picket lines amid the historic WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike. The labor dispute originally made headlines in May 2023 when the Writers Guild of America announced that their contract negotiation with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers had stalled. Some of the concerns the AMPTP did not address included fair wages and the use of artificial intelligence. Two months later, SAG-AFTRA authorized their own strike. Stars such as Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin's Malia Pyles, Bailee Madison and Chandler Kinney have since documented their time on the picket lines. "Proud to stand in solidarity with my union family and WGA community as we fight for an equitable contract to conserve our unique artistry, and protect the soul and humanity of this industry,"  Kinney captioned a July 2023 Instagram photo of her and her costars holding signs in New York.
