As the Hollywood writers’ strike approaches its 100th day, Writers Guild of America (WGA) negotiators will meet with representatives of major studios for the first time in three months to discuss the possibility of resuming contract talks. The strike, which began on May 2, involves 11,500 members of the guild who are protesting against issues such as pay, streaming residuals, and the use of artificial intelligence. The WGA’s negotiating committee has called on the studios to abandon the tactics used during the 2007-08 writers’ strike, including spreading misinformation. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which negotiates on behalf of companies like Walt Disney and Netflix, has responded to the WGA’s statement, calling it “unfortunate” and focusing on the need to get people back to work. The strike is also impacting small businesses that support the entertainment industry, and its effects have been amplified by a strike by members of the Screen Actors Guild. The strikes have halted most work on scripted series for the fall TV season and have affected film production. These job actions are also causing uncertainty in the entertainment industry, with Warner Bros Discovery warning investors that film releases could be delayed and content production impacted. Writers have taken to social media to express their resolve and solidarity with the negotiating team, emphasizing that the strike will only end when they receive their desired deal.
