The Writers Guild of America reached a tentative agreement with Hollywood studios on Sunday. AdvertisementAdvertisement"The WGA and AMPTPT have reached a tentative agreement," the AMPTP email said; the WGA's version was typo-free. The tentative agreement comes after the guild and the AMPTP — which represents major studios and streaming services, including Warner Bros. They were joined on the picket lines by over 160,000 union members of SAG-AFTRA, the actors' union, on July 14. Broadcast networks' fall TV schedules were loaded with reality series, whose writers aren't subject to the WGA agreement.

Writers Guild of America members are set to go on strike as their contract expires on May 1. A 28-year-old writer for FX's award-winning series "The Bear" said he's looking for jobs at movie theaters as members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) prepare to go on strike Tuesday to demand better pay from studios. The writers won the Best Comedy Series award that evening, beating "Abbott Elementary" and "Barry." O'Keefe told The New Yorker that his compensation does not add up to much after accounting for representative fees and taxes. A showrunner told Insider that first-time and newer writers could make around $40,000 to 60,000 for ten weeks of work.
