The Writers Guild of America, which walked out back in May over demands including better pay and safeguards against the use of artificial intelligence, finally thrashed out a deal with studios including Netflix and Disney on Sunday night.
Late-night TV shows could return to air"within the next two to three weeks," according to Variety, citing industry insiders. "There are presumably upwards of 1,500 productions that all want to start as soon as they can," said entertainment lawyer Jonathan Handel. Many of these issues overlap with the actors' demands, and SAG-AFTRA negotiators will be poring over the fine details this week, ahead of their own talks with studios.These include steeper pay rises to counter rampant inflation, and an actual share of revenue for hit streaming shows.
