Directors and Studios Strike Deal Amid Ongoing Writers' Strike in Hollywood

The Directors Guild of America has reached a tentative agreement with Hollywood studios on a three-year contract, including improvements in wages, streaming residuals, and guardrails around artificial intelligence. The deal prevents the doomsday Hollywood scenario of three major unions striking simultaneously. The Writers Guild of America, the union that represents the writers, is still on strike, and the entertainment industry is looking closely at what the directors’ deal and the actors’ negotiations will mean for them.
