Hollywood's actors union reached a tentative deal with studios Wednesday to end its strike, bringing an end to months of labor strife that ground the entertainment industry to a historic halt.
The three-year contract agreement must be approved by votes from the union's board and its members in the coming days, but the leadership declared the strike will end at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday.
Executives from top entertainment companies including Disney, Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery and Universal had a direct hand in negotiations, which like all Hollywood union talks were led by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. And beyond scripted productions, the end of the strike would fully free actors to return to red carpets, talk shows and podcasts, as Hollywood's awards season approaches.
Union leaders treated the strike like a watershed moment from the start, coming as it did amid wider labor fights in other industries.
