Actor Sam Asghari and his wife Britney Spears will not be able to make a red carpet appearance together.
It’s been a while since the couple, who tied the knot in June 2022, were able to walk the red carpet together. While it seemed like they had the perfect opportunity to attend the “Special Ops: Lioness” premiere together, the red carpet premiere was canceled due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.

On Thursday night, the Iranian actor took to his Instagram Story to share a link to Deadline, announcing that the premiere of “Special Ops: Lioness” had been canceled due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Paramount+ released a statement on Thursday announcing their decision to cancel the premiere, which was scheduled to take place next week.
“In light of today’s news of the official SAG strike, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the red carpet premiere of Special Ops: Lioness, planned for Tuesday, July 18,” read a statement from the stream.
“We realize this is disappointing news and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,” the statement continued. “We are thrilled to celebrate this series and can’t wait for it to debut to Paramount+ audiences on July 23.”

The series features an all-star cast of Zoe Saldana, Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, and Jill Wagner. The series, created by Taylor Sheridan, follows Zoe Saldana’s character “Joe,” as she tries to balance her personal and professional life in the CIA’s war on terror. He enlists Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira), a Marine Raider, as an undercover operative in the Lioness Program.
Despite canceled events following the strike, Disney plans to go ahead with the world premiere of “Haunted Mansion” at Disneyland this Saturday, at least for now.

On Thursday night, TMZ revealed that there are a lot of new rules for actors to follow when the strike goes into effect. This includes everything from making in-person appearances to simply tweeting about the project. 160,000 union members are required to abide by these rules until the strike ends. Actors cannot act, sing or do any motion capture work in front of the camera as long as the strike continues.
However, there is more to this strike than just stepping in front of the camera. Actors also cannot do any voice acting, narrate or re-record their own voices for scenes, known in the industry as dubbing. Actors may also not attend costume fittings, make-up tests, or rehearsals. They also cannot audition for upcoming projects at this time.

There is also a ban on promoting current or future projects. Actors may not do interviews, tours, fan expos, conventions, podcast appearances or award shows. They also cannot post about the project on social media. Although studios can still air pre-recorded promos, SAG-AFTRA has asked publicists to add a disclaimer stating that the work was completed by the actor before the strike.
This rule does not only apply to actors. Stand-up and background actors are also prohibited from crossing the picket line, which begins on Friday, July 14. Anyone who crosses the picket line will be denied entry into the union, making those in the industry increasingly hesitant to do so.

A handful of panels and signings at San Diego Comic-Con had already been canceled when the actor’s strike began. Despite it being one of the biggest pop culture events of the year, “The Rookie” has canceled its scheduled signature event, and “That ’70s Show” has pulled the plug on its anniversary panel, according to TMZ.
The outlet also noted that the highly anticipated second season of “Good Omens” has canceled its plans to do both panels and signings. However, they will still show the second season premiere on extended shows for fans.
Sam Asghari has been sharing plenty of behind-the-scenes photos and clips from his work on “Special Ops: Lioness” on social media, but it looks like that’s all about to change amid the SAG-AFTRA strike.
