The Impact of the Hollywood Writers' Strike on Studios and Networks.

Showrunners attended a WGA meeting to discuss the ongoing strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The meeting addressed the issue of showrunners being asked to perform non-writing producing duties, potentially crossing the picket line. The WGA negotiating committee co-chair reiterated the importance of not performing these duties or promoting shows during the strike. Showrunners expressed concern over divergent guidance from reps and employers. The strike, which began on May 2, is focused on higher wage floors, data transparency from streamers, and the regulation of mini-rooms and the use of artificial intelligence. Negotiations between the DGA and the AMPTP begin next week.
