The two sides have met just five times since the strike began in July.
"As we mark the 100th day of our strike, we are pleased to confirm the company executives have asked us to return to the table. Official negotiations will resume on Tuesday, October 24," the union wrote in a press release Saturday.Actors are striking over issues like pay, particularly for content distributed on streaming services, and the use of artificial intelligence, among other things.The two sides held contract talks earlier this month — their only negotiations thus far.
In a statement on Oct. 11, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said talks ended after SAG-AFTRA presented their latest offer. "After meaningful conversations, it is clear that the gap between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA is too great, and conversations are no longer moving us in a productive direction," the statement read.
The WGA strike, the other strike that ground Hollywood to a halt this summer, ended on Sept. 27, after nearly 150 days. The new contract ratified by WGA members included pay increases over the next several years, as well as strict limits on artificial intelligence, including studios not being allowed to force AI on writers.
