Major studios and the Writers Guild of America announced a tentative contract deal after a 146-day strike.
Production will not immediately restart. After members of the Writers Guild of America vote to approve the deal studios must hammer out their own agreement with the actors’ union. | Jae C. Hong/AP PhotoLOS ANGELES — A major breakthrough in the protracted strikes paralyzing Hollywood is a boon for Gov.
The agreement came after a four-day marathon bargaining session at the studios’ trade association, located in a Sherman Oaks shopping mall, that involved leading entertainment executives such as Bob Iger of Disney and Netflix’s Ted Sarandos. There, they hammered out deal points including the minimum size of writer’s rooms and payment structure for content on streaming platforms.
In Los Angeles, permitted movie and television shoots were down 69 percent for the week of Sept. 17 compared to the same time last year, according to FilmLA, a non-profit that serves as the official film office for the city and county of Los Angeles. While some production has continued, such as reality television and non-union independent films, there have been no scripted television programs in production since mid-July.
