Striking writers whose industrial action has brought Hollywood to a standstill said Sunday they had reached a deal with studios that could see them go back to work. They have manned picket lines for months outside offices including Netflix and Disney, and -- after they were joined by striking actors in mid-July -- have brought the US entertainment industry to a costly standstill.

Studios have offered greater transparency in streaming audience numbers, while stopping short of offering to revise the way residual payments are calculated.
