The Writers Guild of America and Hollywood studios reach a new contract agreement, ending five-month-long strike action
The months-long writers’ strike in Hollywood is finally coming to an end as the Writers of Guild America union reaches a resolution with entertainment studios. The tentative deal between the two parties was reached earlier this week, and the union’s governing board and committees successfully voted to approve the new contract. The union’s approval of the deal puts an end to strike action, but the writers themselves will vote on the contract in October. Writers will begin to return to work on Wednesday, and productions that were paused due to the strike will resume production. It is predicted that late-night talk shows will be the first productions to resume, while other scripted productions will be slower to return, because the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which represents actors in Hollywood, is still on strike.
