The trio of friends, who all starred on the series and have launched a re-watch podcast together, came to fans about switching to DVDs amid the SAG-AFTRA, and WGA strike.

“Now we are no strangers to pushing back against imbalances and abuses of power — it is the very basis of our podcast here,” Hilarie said as they were talking about the strike’s effect. “We’re reclaiming a really pivotal chapter in our lives.”

Sophia then added that because of the strike, they’re in talks to see if they can even continue the podcast. Part of the strike terms prohibits members from promoting not just current, but past projects as well. That being said, those doing podcasts, are in limbo as they have contracts with their hosts as well.

“We’re in full support of the strike as well as the writer’s strike, and we’ve checked in personally with multiple representatives and have had our teams do the same so that we maintain an active line of communication,” she shared.

Bethany then chimed in, saying that at the moment they “have been given the green light to honor our iHeart contract — but we are taking this walk down memory lane in an old school way and encourage you to do the same. Bust out those DVDs, OK? We’ve signed thousands of box sets, so we know you have them. Get together with friends and have watch parties like we did back in the day.”

“This community has always been supportive and proactive whenever we’ve been in a tough spot and this moment is no exception,” Hilarie added. “We are grateful to you and encourage all of you to post your pictures with your box sets and use those hashtags #SAGAFTRAStrong and #WGAStrong, and we’re gonna post your pictures in our feed.”
