LOS ANGELES — Hollywood writers and producers have entered a fourth week of contract negotiations in an early bargaining session designed to avoid a potential walkout this spring.

The Writers Guild of America originally intended to end the talks after t wo weeks, but they were extended Monday.

The current contract for the guild’s 11,000 members expires May 2. The Screen Actors Guild contract ends two months later, prompting concerns about potential back-to-back strikes that could delay the fall TV season and reduce the number of movies produced.
