showrunner said he believes the issues around the strike haven’t been created by producers or executive producers but by the ignorance of executives at the higher boardroom level.

When asked what he thinks needs to change to end the strike, Davies said terms between writers and the studios “just need to be humane.” “I know that what happens in America happens here.
