Deal with Hollywood studios to end historic strike for writers

The union representing screenwriters has reached a tentative agreement with Hollywood studios to potentially end a historic strike that has lasted nearly five months, raising hopes of concluding a prolonged 146-day shutdown of movie and television filming.

As reported by the AP, actors still remain on strike but the deal with writers may pave the way for a resolution in their negotiations as well.

The Writers Guild of America announced this development in a joint statement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the organization representing studios, streaming services, and production companies in these negotiations. It's important to note that the agreement still requires approval from the guild's board and its members before the strike officially comes to an end. This approval process could potentially take place within the coming week.
