  Writers strike likely affected scripts…

  Not to mention SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing…

  So I imagine it will push back season 5 by some months, possibly til 2025

    Animated television writers are in another guild, one that signed a new contract over a year ago. Neither the WGA or SAG-ACTRA strikes have impacted them.

      SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.

      Thanks, didn’t know that

      I thought I read that voice actors joined the SAG strike, so that complicated things

    Also, the strike is over.

  @ValueSubtracted Is the Friday Night Death Slot still a thing? Because it's right around this point Star Trek series usually get shuffled into the Friday Night Death Slot.

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that being relevant to streaming shows.

    Since the only country in which LD airs on tv is Canada, and it streams there as well, I doubt it’s a factor.
