Just so we're not accused of being overly optimistic, we understand that the WGA membership still needs to ratify the union's tentative agreement with the AMPTP. We also understand that next week's negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP need to go as well as what went down with WGA for any of this to really matter "big picture." That said, it feels good being able to report the rumblings of when the writing rooms on a number of shows are set to open again. According to reports from Deadline Hollywood and other sources, Grey's Anatomy (ABC), Criminal Minds: Evolution (Paramount+), 9-1-1 (ABC), Family Guy (FOX), Bob's Burgers (FOX), The Simpsons (FOX), Quantum Leap (NBC), Yellowjackets (Showtime), Ghosts (CBS), NCIS (CBS), Fire Country (CBS), The Neighborhood (CBS), Abbott Elementary (ABC), The Sex Lives of College Girls (Max), Young Sheldon (CBS), The Cleaning Lady (FOX), Rescue: Hi-Surf (FOX), Animal Control (FOX), Alert (FOX), Quantum Leap (NBC), Law & Order (NBC), FBI (CBS), Law & Order: SVU (NBC), The Mole Agent, and other shows are looking to open or reopen writing rooms shuttered by the writers' strike.
