The Writers Guild of America and the labour group representing studios and streams have reached a tentative deal on a new contract after a series of negotiations and meetings. This significant breakthrough might bring an end to a historic 146-day writers’ strike, providing relief to the entertainment industry.
As soon as news of the agreement surfaced, several celebrities, including Priyanka Chopra applauded the efforts of those who played a crucial role in making this possible.
She took to Instagram to express her excitement and wrote, ‘Bravo. This is the result of a committed, unified stance. Hope that this positive momentum can drive closure on the SAG AFRA discussions too. After several long consecutive days of negotiations, the WGA and the AMPTP have reached a tentative deal on a new contract in a major development that could precipitate the end of a historic, 146 day.’
Movies and TV Shows that were stalled or delayed due to the SAG AFTRA strike will now be able to resume their production schedules.
These negotiations took place over five consecutive days during the weekend.
The production of Priyanka Chopra’s project ‘Heads Of State’, which was previously halted due to the strike, is now set to resume. This Prime Video film also stars Idris Elba and John Cena, with Ilya Naishuller directing the project.
