EXCLUSIVE: The writers strike is heading towards its 100th day but there’s a new sense of guarded optimism that both parties – the WGA and the studios, represented by the AMPTP – are on the verge of making a breakthrough

Some of the studio bosses, including Netflix’s Ted Sarandos, as well as the likes of Disney’s Dana Walden and Alan Bergman, weighed in on the matter with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on Friday. Discussing both the SAG-AFTRA and WGA labor actions, the gathering of execs was intended in no small part to “bring the temperature down,” according to one well-positioned source.
“It’s headed in that direction,” said one insider. “It’s on the precipice of happening and they’re gearing up for it.”
