An end in sight? Striking writers and Hollywood studios spend second full day in negotiations

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood studios and striking screenwriters have spent a second full day in talks that could potentially put an end to the nearly five-month dispute that has brought many film and television productions to a halt. Hopes ran high Thursday that a deal might emerge, but no meaningful updates had yet come from inside the talk between the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Writers Guild of America. Present at the meetings are a group of top entertainment CEOs including Disney’s Bob Iger, Warner Bros. Discovery’s David Zaslav, Universal’s Donna Langley and Netflix’s Ted Sarandos.
