The television landscape is seeing a significant shift as the number of U.S. scripted TV shows has fallen 24% in 2023, reaching a five-year low, due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. This decline is largely attributed to the impact of these strikes, with a notable reduction in TV premieres compared to the previous year. In a related development, the musical comedy series 'Schmigadoon!' will not be returning for a third season on Apple TV+, adding to the list of cancellations in what some are calling the end of 'Peak TV.'
