LOS ANGELES (AP) — The writers strike is over. Actors are still walking picket lines, but Wednesday is the first day in nearly five months that screenwriters can return to their jobs. So when will your favorite shows return? Well, it’s complicated. Late-night talk shows — and talk shows in general — are the first productions to come back. Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert will be back Monday night with new episodes. The actors strike will complicate the return of filming on shows such as “Stranger Things” and movies like the “Deadpool” sequel. But some scripted writing rooms, like for the ABC hit “Abbott Elementary,” can now get back to work.
