The WGA and the AMPTP have each released press statements saying they are coming back to the table on November 26th.

This does not mean that everything is solved but it's a step forward and hopefully means that it will be resolved shortly.
Here's the WGA release, thanks to United Hollywood, since I took the statement from them. Keep heading there for more information.

CONTRACT 2007 NEGOTIATIONS STATEMENT

LOS ANGELES – The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) and the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) have issued the following statement today:

Leaders from the WGA and the AMPTP have mutually agreed to resume formal negotiations on November 26. No other details or press statements will be issued.

For more information about the Writers Guild of America, West, please visit www.wga.org. For more information about the Writers Guild of America, East, please visit: www.wgaeast.org.

The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) and the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) represent writers in the motion picture, broadcast, cable, and new media industries in both entertainment and news. The unions conduct numerous programs, seminars, and events throughout the world on issues of interest to, and on behalf of, writers.

Maybe we can get our shows back into production before the end of the year, or at least early next year.
