‘Best and Final’ Offer Sent to Striking Screenwriters—but There’s One Snag
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reportedly sent a “best and final” offer to WGA members on Saturday evening, leading to reports on Sunday that a deal to end a 145-day strike was imminent.
With the most recent round of negotiations reportedly yielding major progress, the two sides were set to meet again on Sunday to continue bargaining. Studio sources told the Los Angeles Times that they hoped to ink a deal by the end of that day’s meeting.
“The intention was always to wrap this up by the weekend,” an insider told Deadline. “That was the desire on both sides of the table.”
