Watch as SAG-AFTRA actors strike outside Warner Bros on Friday, 6 October, as talks continue between the union, studios, and streamers.

Striking Hollywood actors and studios were expected to continue their talks today, and negotiators for the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) will work internally over the weekend and resume talks on Monday.

The live stream from Friday’s picket line came as Saturday Night Live is set to return to screens next week for the first time since the writers strike began.

It last aired with an episode hosted by Ana de Armas on 15 April and will return with Pete Davidson, a former cast member, as host on 14 October.

Rapper Ice Spice will be a musical host.

Former cast member Pete Davidson will host, with rapper Ice Spice as the night’s musical guest. Davidson had been due to host the show back in May, but his episode was the first to be cancelled due to the strike.

The union made “meaningful gains and protections for writers,” leading the writers’ strike to end in September after 146 days, however the actors’ strike - which began in July - is still ongoing.
