After five months of striking, the WGA reached a tentative deal with the major Hollywood studios Sunday night.

Now, more than  11,000 writers need to vote on the deal.

 

They have been striking for increased residuals, better pay, and protections against AI writing scripts.

For their part, the WGA called the deal “exceptional” and said it includes “meaningful gains and protections.”

The writers and actors strikes hit Hollywood this year, upending the entertainment industry and costing California’s economy $5 billion.
