This is the best summary I could come up with:

The studios announced that they had suspended contract negotiations late Wednesday (11 October) night, saying the gap between the two sides was too great to make continuing worth it.

On 2 October, for the first time since the strike began 14 July, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists had resumed negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, streaming services and production companies in strike talks.

When negotiations resumed with writers last month, their strike ended five days later, but similar progress was not made with the actors union.

The SAG-AFTRA proposal would cost companies an additional $800 million a year and create “an untenable economic burden,” the statement said.

Actors have been on strike over issues including increases in pay for streaming programming and control of the use of their images generated by artificial intelligence.

Members of the Writers Guild of America voted almost unanimously to ratify their new contract on Monday.
