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.
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. The two unions made similar demands, including stricter protections against the use of artificial intelligence, higher base compensation and a bigger cut of streaming profits.
