The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the labor union representing studios and streamers have finally reached a tentative agreement on a new contract following a gruelling sequence of discussions and meetings that lasted several straight days. This important development has the potential to put an end to the record-breaking 146-day writers’ strike, relieving the entertainment sector. The SAG AFTRA strike has ended, allowing movies and TV shows that were blocked or delayed to continue production. Celebrities from Hollywood, including Priyanka Chopra, joined in the festivities as soon as the news of the agreement broke, praising those who had made a significant contribution to its success and signaling the start of a new era for the entertainment industry.

The actress couldn’t contain her excitement and posted on Instagram to share it. She 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.”

According to reports, the Writers Guild of America sent an email on Sunday night to strike captains with the news before making a general announcement to all of its members. The message said, “We have reached a tentative agreement on a new 2023 MBA, which is to say an agreement in principle on all deal points, subject to drafting final contract language.” In a joint statement with the WGA, the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) likewise reaffirmed the historic deal.

The sides have agreed on a three-year contract, but it still needs to be approved by the WGA before it can take effect. While the specifics of the agreement, which affects about 11,500 WGA members, are not yet known, they are anticipated to be made public in the coming days as the organization works to win over its members to the arrangement.

These negotiations were kept from breaking the union record for length by taking place over five days straight over the weekend. The previous record was set in 1988 when the WGA went on strike for 154 days against Hollywood studios.

Heads Of State, Priyanka Chopra’s next movie, will now resume production after earlier being put on hold owing to the strike. Ilya Naishuller, the project’s director, also features Idris Elba and John Cena in this OTT movie. Additionally, the actress is set to share the screen with Guardians of The Galaxy star Chris Pratt in a film titled Cowboy Ninja Viking.
