The Writers Guild of America strike has been going on for close to 100 days, but negotiations are set to restart this week. The meeting this Friday between the WGA and the AMPTP marks a significant step forward, but a deal may not be made immediately. 🔗
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As the Writers Guild of America strike is closing in on its 100th day, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers is officially looking to restart the negotiations this week. Hollywood is going through some of its biggest battles right now, as studios are fighting with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA guilds.
In a note that was sent out by the WGA committee to their members, via Deadline, they confirmed that the AMPTP is looking to set up a meeting for this Friday, August 4. The trade added through its sources that this doesn't necessarily mean there will be a deal made immediately, but that "it marks the first significant step toward progress since the writers strike began May 2.
The AMPTP, through Carol Lombardini, reached out to the WGA today and requested a meeting this Friday to discuss negotiations. We’ll be back in communication with you sometime after the meeting with further information. As we’ve said before, be wary of rumors. Whenever there is important news to share, you will hear it directly from us.
Despite a meeting taking place this Friday, negotiations will not necessarily go smoothly. The AMPTP are likely still going to be trying to compromise as much as possible. Even if the WGA and AMPTP makes a deal within the next few weeks, this would only be half of the battle won as there is still the SAG-AFTRA strike that is happening.
Friday will definitely be interesting to follow as more updates are bound to come out through the WGA committee, whether it be in official statements or across social media. Needless to say, the fact that the AMPTP are attempting to resume negotiations is hopefully a sign that they have realized the value that screenwriters bring to content.
