US actors’ union SAG-AFTRA has agreed a “tentative deal” with Hollywood studio bosses to end a 118-day strike.
The longest walkout in the union’s history came to an end this Thursday morning following a “unanimous vote”.
The union, which represents around 160,000 members of the industry, has been on strike since 14 July causing major disruption to Hollywood productions.
The deal comes after the union’s negotiating committee spent days deliberating over several items it deemed “essential”, including artificial intelligence.
It followed a “last, best and final” offer from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) – the group representing studios, streaming services and producers in negotiations.
