CNN —The striking writers and heads of the four big Hollywood studios have concluded a “marathon session” of negotiations, which lasted more than ten hours, without reaching a deal Thursday evening, a person familiar with the matter told CNN.
It’s unclear when the studios and writers will meet again to continue negotiations.
Discovery chief David Zaslav, Disney chief Bob Iger, Netflix co-chief Ted Sarandos, and NBCUniversal studio chairman Donna Langley — resumed negotiations on Wednesday with the Writers Guild of America.
After the meeting, both sides issued a rare joint statement noting their discussions would continue the following day.
Many productions had halted even before SAG-AFTRA joined the WGA on strike July 14.
