Hollywood Writers' Strike Ends: WGA Approves Tentative Deal, Resumes Work

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has voted to end the strike after 148 days, following a tentative agreement on a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The ratification vote will be held from October 2 to October 9, and the contract is expected to be easily ratified. The deal includes compensation gains, minimum staff levels in TV writers rooms, improved payment terms for screenwriters, and protections for the use of artificial intelligence in the writing process. The details of the agreement have not been released yet.
