The Writers Guild of America (WGA) stated on Sept. 24 that it had reached a “tentative agreement” with major Hollywood studios, potentially ending a nearly five month-long strike that has brought film and television production to a standstill.

The WGA, representing more than 11,000 writers, said a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) has been reached but that they are still finalizing the “contract language.”
