End of the strike in Hollywood: actors and studios reached an agreement

The conflict lasted 117 days, and was combined with that of the screenwriters which ended last September.

More than six months after the start of the conflict, Hollywood will go back to work. Filming will be able to resume and productions will return to normal activity.

THE actors union (SAG-AFTRA) reached an agreement with the studio alliance last night and the strike officially ended, after 117 days, in the wake of the screenwriters strike (WGA), which lasted 148 days, between May and September.

According to Variety, the Screen Actors Guild bargaining committee unanimously approved a tentative agreement to end the strike. In a press release, the union is delighted to be “reached a contract that will allow SAG-AFTRA members of all categories to build lasting careers. Thousands of artists, today and tomorrow, will benefit from this work“. For their part, the studios announce a “new paradigm“. We do not yet know what the precise terms of the new deal are or its consequences on the long-term industry, particularly that of streaming.
