Writers Guild and Studios Inch Toward Deal After Months-Long Strike

The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since May 2nd over issues like compensation and protections against AI.
Major studios made a counterproposal addressing writers' demands on AI, streaming data, and staffing minimums.
SAG-AFTRA modified its interim agreements to exclude WGA-covered projects in a show of solidarity.
Studios acknowledged saving costs during the strike, while fall film festivals face impacts from SAG's interim deals.
After months without talks, the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are meeting again, signaling potential progress.
