A month after settling with writers, Hollywood studios have reached a tentative agreement with actors who went on strike themselves five months ago. The resolution ends the 118 day walkout, the longest such strike in the history of Hollywood.
In a statement released last night, the union representing actors—SAG-AFTRA—announced the agreement, which will be put to a vote tomorrow (Thursday). The union joined the writers union, WGA on the picket lines in early June over many of the same concerns that prompted writers to walk out in May over how the industry pays and treats its creative talent in a new media environment where major Hollywood brands have launched D2C streaming services over the past decade as well concerns over the use of AI.
