Hollywood writers, studios and streamers said Sunday that they have reached a-tentative agreement that would end a monthslong strike.
The new three-year deal includes several hard-fought victories for the writers including increased royalties, mandatory staffing for television "writing rooms and protections regarding the use of artificial intelligence, people familiar with the pact said.
Neither side would address the terms of the accord. The Writers Guild of America said it is still finalizing the memorandum of agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, a coalition representing movie and TV studios, networks and streamers.
The negotiating committee will then vote on whether to recommend it and send the contract forward for approval.
Until that happens, writers have been instructed not to return to work by the WGA. However, that both sides are acknowledging a deal after months of contentious negotiations is seen as the beginning of the end of the strike.
Both sides agreed to terms just after reaching a self-imposed deadline of Sunday evening before the start of the Yom Kippur holiday.
The deal comes after five consecutive days of talks that involved Warner Bros.
Discovery CEO David Zaslav, Disney CEO Bob Iger, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos and NBCUniversal Studios Group Chairman Donna Langley.
A resolution to the writers' strike could open the door to a deal with the Screen Actors Guild, the performers' union that has been on strike since midJuly. It marked the first time both unions went on strike since 1960.
