The Writers Guild Of America strike is over
Though it still must be ratified, the WGA deal includes protections against AI, minimum staffing requirements, and bonuses for successful streaming content

The Writers Guild Of America has just announced that, as of 12:01 AM on Wednesday, September 27, the WGA strike will be over. After reaching a tentative agreement with the AMPTP late Sunday night, the union’s Negotiating Committee took that agreement to the WGA West’s board and the WGA East’s council, who all voted “unanimously” to recommend the agreement to the two guilds’ members for approval. It still needs to be ratified by union members, who will begin voting on October 2, but the strike has now been lifted and writers are free to go back to work—with the union noting that lifting the strike and going back to work should not impact anyone’s “right to make a final determination on contract approval” (meaning everyone could still vote to reject this deal if they want to, and they should not be swayed by the decision to end the strike).
