A deal was reached late Wednesday to end what was, at nearly four months, the longest strike ever for film and television actors.
SAG-AFTRA members and supporters chant outside Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on Nov. 8, 2023. It was Day 118 of their strike against the Hollywood studios. A tentative labor agreement has been reached and the strike was set to end. LOS ANGELES — On Thursday, for the first time in more than six months, neither Hollywood’s actors nor its writers will be on strike.
Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA’s executive director and chief negotiator, said the gains made in the deal justified the struggle. “It is something that has evolved even while we’ve been in this negotiation process,” Crabtree-Ireland said. “The capabilities of generative AI tools have expanded dramatically. So we have really been focused on making sure that the guardrails that we negotiated for were future-proof or at least future-resistant.”said in a statement that the “agreement represents a new paradigm. It gives SAG-AFTRA the biggest contract-on-contract gains in the history of the union.
And beyond scripted productions, the end of the strike allows actors to return to red carpets, talk shows and podcasts, as Hollywood’s awards season approaches.
