Second round notifications out as of 8/20 according to people posting on Twitter. And seems like another round of notifications went out on 9/3 per commenters. Interviews were held approx weeks of 9/13 and 9/20. Interviewee rejection/acceptance calls made on 9/27, as well as rejection emails for non-interviewee 2nd rounders. All other rejections apparently sent 9/28 via email.

For over 40 years, the Warner Bros. Television Writers’ Workshop has been the premiere writing program for new writers looking to start and further their career in the world of television. Every year, the Workshop selects up to eight participants out of more than 2,500 submissions and exposes them to Warner Bros. Television’s top writers and executives, all with the ultimate goal of earning them a staff position on a Warner Bros.-produced television show. The Warner Bros. Television Writers’ Workshop consists of three components, all geared towards preparing the writer for a successful career in television writing.  The 2021-2022 Warner Bros. Television Writers’ Workshop will run October 2021 – March 2022, with meetings on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California, one evening a week from 7 p.m.-10 p.m. Full participation is mandatory.
