Studios Present "Last and Final" Offer to Striking Actors

Studios have presented their "last, best and final" offer to SAG-AFTRA in an attempt to end the 114-day actors strike. The offer includes an enhanced residual bonus for high-performing streaming shows, comprehensive protections on artificial intelligence, and the highest increase in minimums in 40 years. SAG-AFTRA leaders have requested more time to analyze and respond to the offer, while studios express frustration with the union's leadership. The negotiations have focused on resolving issues related to artificial intelligence, particularly concerns about the creation of "digital doubles." The outcome of the negotiations and the potential end of the strike remain uncertain.
