SAG-AFTRA and Hollywood studios reach a tentative agreement to resolve the strike

Chloe Melas is an entertainment correspondent for NBC News.

Hollywood actors could soon head back to work. SAG-AFTRA, the union representing more than 150,000 film and television performers, reached a tentative deal on a new contract with the entertainment world's top studios Wednesday, according to three sources familiar with the matter — a major step that could end the actors strike and revive the industry.

Discovery's David Zaslav and NBCUniversal's Donna Langley. The deal comes after negotiators for the Writers Guild of America, a union representing Hollywood screenwriters, reached their own agreement with the studios on a new three-year contract, known as a 'minimum basic agreement.' The writers strike officially ended at 12:01 a.m. PT on Sept. 27.
