As seen in Variety:

SAG-AFTRA has reached a tentative four-year deal with the major studios, as negotiators have managed to avoid a repeat of the strikes of three years ago.

The union agreed to a deal about a month after the Writers Guild of America announced its tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Both unions waged multi-month strikes against the major studios in 2023.

“SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement on terms for a successor contract to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical Contracts covering motion pictures, scripted primetime dramatic television, streaming content and new media,” the union said in a statement.
