The ongoing writers' and actors' strikes are delaying many TV shows and movies that were supposed to air or come out this year.

NBC released its fall schedule on Wednesday, and many fans were disappointed when they found out their favorite shows wouldn't air until 2024.

Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU have been affected, according to People.

Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. will also air next year.

The last one that NBC announced will not air this year is Night Court.

TV Line reported that those six shows will have mid-season premieres, along with Lopez v Lopez, Law & Order: Organized Crime, and La Brea.

The new comedy, Extended Family, also won't air until 2024.

THE GOOD NEWS

Although at least 10 shows on NBC have been pushed back, there are a few that will be airing earlier than expected.

Magnum P.I. will air the second-half of its fifth and final season in October, instead of the winter like it was originally supposed to be.

The Jay Hernandez-led show will air on October 4, and then weekly on Wednesdays at 10pm, until it ends.

Before Magnum, fans can also enjoy the new season of Quantum Leap early.

Originally slated for the winter, Quantum Leap will now premiere on October 4 at 9pm.

The fall line-up will start with the premiere of The Voice on September 25 and then the finale of America's Got Talent on September 27.

Two new dramas- Irrational, and Found- will also start the fall line-up on September 28 and October 3.

New episodes of The Wall and Dateline will also air.

Besides that, NBC will air reruns of many shows including Law & Order.

FANS REACT

Fans were not happy with all of the delays of their favorite shows.

They took to Twitter to express their opinions.

"They're pushing Law & Order: SVU back to 2024," one fan wrote, and added a sad-faced emoji.

"There is no way Mariska would allow SVU to end without closure for her fans," said another.

A third added: "I'm a little feral about it (Law & Order: SVU) being delayed, but I understand."

"Wow. This is BS!" said another.

"2024? That's so far away," tweeted another fan.

"I can't wait that long," said another.

THE STRIKES

The Writer's Guild of America went on strike in May to demand higher wages.

The WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers could not reach an agreement on a new three-year film TV contract to replace one that expired on May 1.

More than 11,000 writers are participating in this protest from several studios, including Netflix, Paramount, and HBO.

Many shows, including late-night talk shows, have all shut down production for the time being.

Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA - the union that comprises the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists - went on strike in early July.

The strike came after SAG-AFTRA failed to close contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).

Hollywood halted production on mostly everything on July 14.

Reality shows, game shows, and some talk shows are still able to air.
