Warner Bros. Television Group has also suspended pacts for Mindy Kaling and Bill Lawrence.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The WGA strike has reached the upper echelon of overall deals at Warner Bros. Television Group.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the studio has suspended a number of overall deals for its top creatives including J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot (Duster), Greg Berlanti (Superman & Lois), Chuck Lorre (Bob Hearts Abishola), Bill Lawrence (Shrinking), John Wells (Maid), Mindy Kaling (Sex Lives of College Girls).
Sources say Lorre’s multiyear pact with his decades-long studio was quietly suspended in May, a week into the strike.
The news comes as the Writers Guild of America has entered the fourth month of its strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers over such issues as residuals, AI and streaming transparency.
All six prolific producers are behind multiple shows and all have development projects at the studio that they had been working on.
The deal suspensions arrive as Hollywood’s studios and streamers who comprise the AMPTP are now in cost-cutting mode as the writers strike continues to drag on well past the 100-day marker.
