After 148 days of demanding better rights for workers from across the film industry, the Writers Guild of America announced the official end of the strike last night. A tentative deal was reached earlier this week, and with the announcement of the strike’s conclusion, the specifics of the new agreement between the studios and the guild have finally been revealed, and they are historic. The members of the WGA still have to vote to ratify, which will take place between October 2 and October 9, but in the meantime, writers will be headed back to work with the knowledge that they will have new, all-encompassing protections against AI, better residuals, accurate streaming data, and health insurance.
The Writers Guild Association has announced their strike has come to an end, with a historic, game-changing deal with the studios.
