Hollywood writers and studios to resume contract talks after month-long strike

Contract talks between striking Hollywood writers and major studios and streaming services are set to resume after being stalled. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers announced that it is working to schedule a meeting next week in response to a request from the Writers Guild of America. The actors' strike is also ongoing, with separate negotiations planned. Progress to end the strike had seemed stalled, causing concerns for the fall broadcast season and financial strain on actors and writers. Significant differences remain between the writers and studios, including employment levels, residuals, and concerns about AI. Pressure is mounting from investors and Wall Street due to potential losses from the strike.
