While screenwriters are back at work, film and TV actors continue to be on picket lines as their strike reaches the 100-day mark. Negotiations between the actors’ union and major studios will resume next week, with hopes for progress. However, the talks have been slow, with long breaks between sessions and no reported progress. The studios ended discussions abruptly, citing the actors’ expensive demands and a disagreement over a fee for streaming services. The actors’ union maintains that they have made concessions and will not back down from their demands. This is the longest strike in the actors’ union’s history, and the outcome remains uncertain. Past actors’ strikes have focused on issues such as residuals and compensation for emerging technologies. The strike has impacted the production of TV shows and films, with many projects being suspended or delayed. The Emmys have been postponed to January to accommodate the strike.
