Late Sunday night, the Writers’ Guild of America finally reached a tentative deal with the major Hollywood studios to return to work, ending a 146-day strike: the longest strike in Hollywood history.
The guild announced their deal over X (formerly Twitter), and details surrounding the deal are still being worked on.
The strike, concerned with the pay-share in streaming revenue and threats of artificial intelligence, began in early May and continued throughout the summer.
Late-night television staples and streaming giants suffered from production stoppages related to the writers’ strike, with many looking to restart their plans for this upcoming year.
This ends the spark to one of the few major work stoppages across the country, with the United Autoworkers and Screen Actors’ Guild still on strike for better working conditions.
Production will not resume yet, with the SAG-AFTRA strike still putting most productions on pause.
More details surrounding the deal between the guild and the studios including details about the work stoppage, are on the horizon.
