"The Netflix Strike": WGA Hit Squad Shuts Down Hollywood and Suspends Overall Deals.

Netflix has suspended its term deals, including overall and first-look deals, for writers and producers who are not in production due to the ongoing writers strike. The streaming giant will cover pay for assistants working under those deals for 30 days, but salaries for development executives are not being covered. The suspension procedure will apply to those involved in production as it ends. The pacts are expected to resume after the work stoppage, with the time of suspension added on the back end.
