Hollywood’s labor crisis has now reached the Emmys. The TV Academy has postponed the 2023 Emmy Awards ceremony due to the simultaneous strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, TheWrap has confirmed.

A new date for the ceremony hasn’t yet been set. Representatives for the Television Academy had no comment. Representatives for Fox TV, where the ceremony would have aired, also had no comment.

The postponement affects not just the Primetime Emmys, originally scheduled for Sept. 18, 2023, on Fox, but the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremonies, which were slated for Sept. 9 and Sept. 10.

When WGA went on strike May 2, it had an immediate impact on the summer awards ceremonies.
