Though negotiations between the actors' union and the studios & streamers have wrapped for the day, reports are that talks between SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP on a new three-year deal will continue on Sunday.
In attendance for today's virtual meeting were AMPTP president Carol Lombardini & their negotiating team and union president Fran Drescher, chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, and the SAG-AFTRA negotiation committee – a session that was reportedly a 'deep dive' into the key issues still in play. Disney's Bob Iger, NBCUniversal's Donna Langley, Warner Bros Discovery's David Zaslav, and Netflix's Ted Sarandos were reportedly involved with today's session.
