The Writer’s Guild of America and Hollywood studios have reached a ‘tentative agreement’ on a new contract, which could prompt the end of a historic monthslong strike.
The WGA wrote in an email to its members that “with great pride,” it can say, “this deal is exceptional — with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership.” However, no deal has yet been struck between the studios and striking actors.

The union made sure to note that “no one is to return to work until specifically authorized to by the Guild. We are on strike until then.” The WGA said it wants everything to be firmly in writing before its board officially approves it and shares any details, but they are, “as of today, suspending WGA picketing.”
The union encouraged its members who are able to picket with SAG-AFTRA, the group of actors striking for better working conditions who have yet to come to an agreement with studios.
