The SAG-AFTRA strike has finally come to an end after 118 days of strike action. Last night the actors’ guild and studios reached a provisional agreement on a new contract, meaning Hollywood will be back in business in the coming weeks. This is fantastic and exciting news!
The strike officially ended at 12:01 a.m. PT on Thursday, November 9. While details of the agreement have not yet been disclosed, they will become public after it reaches the council, whose members are expected to sign it on Friday. .
Once the council approves the agreement, eligible members of the 160,000-plus actors’ guild will vote to ratify the new agreement. After that, actors will be able to return to work and all stalled film and television projects will be able to resume production. The Hollywood machine will start working again, producing entertainment.
According to Deadline, “Overall, the six months of Hollywood strikes are estimated to have cost the Southern California economy more than $6.5 billion and 45,000 entertainment industry jobs, as production halted when the WGA went on strike in early May, and SAG-AFTRA followed suit in mid-July.” Many people have experienced financial hardship, with workers in the industry left without income for months.
It’s nice to know that all these people who have struggled will be able to start working again, from the actors to the crews who bring these films and TV shows to life. That’s the best thing about this news.
