After nearly five months, the union representing screenwriters has reached a tentative agreement with Hollywood studios, raising hopes of ending a historic strike. While actors remain on strike, this deal may pave the way for a resolution soon. The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers announced the agreement, subject to approval by the guild’s board and members. The strike, which began on May 2, impacted late-night talk shows, scripted series, and film productions. The strike was driven by issues like pay, staff size, and the use of AI in script creation. Talks with actors have not yet resumed.
