After 148 days of striking, TV and film writers reached a tentative agreement with studios and streamers regarding their work contracts.
WGA members will vote on ratifying the agreement between Oct. 2 and 9, with some writers going back to work as early as next week.
That could mean more early career writers get an opportunity to work and gain experience on the ground.
Without an opportunity for syndication and international distribution on streaming services, residual pay for writers has been cut significantly as well.
The contract also hikes minimum pay for various types of television shows and establishes minimum pay for late night talk shows on streaming services, like "The Amber Ruffin Show," which did not previously have established minimums.
