A meeting between a group of leading showrunners including Kenya Barris and Noah Hawley and WGA leadership has been canceled.
The meeting, which became a hot topic of conversation around Hollywood earlier this week, has been pushed after the WGA and AMPTP agreed to hold new talks aimed at ending the work stoppage that has been going on since May.

Not longer afterward, the WGA said, “The WGA and AMPTP are in the process of scheduling a time to get back in the room.”
