The Writers Guild of America met again with representatives of the major studios on Thursday, as negotiators continued to search for a path toward resolving the 108-dayThe CEOs of the major studios — including Ted Sarandos of Netflix and David Zaslav of Warner Bros. Discovery — are also expected to hold a joint call on Friday to discuss the next move in the talks. Donna Langley of NBCUniversal and Dana Walden and Alan Bergman of Disney are also expected to participate.
Several sources on the studio side professed shock and frustration at the guild’s response. They also said they are reluctant to “negotiate with ourselves” to get a deal.

The sources expressed a view that the offer was generous, and they hoped it could lead to a breakthrough in the negotiations.
