The Hollywood screenwriters' strike may be about to end. That's because in the near future, they may be able to conclude a new deal with movie studios. This is reported by The Verge with reference to CNBC host David Faber.
This is a strike that began in the spring. Back then, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) was unable to conclude a new agreement with the studios by May 1, and the previous contract expired.
On behalf of its members, the Guild is trying to negotiate a higher base salary, a minimum number of screenwriters on staff, etc. They also fight for contracts that will not allow artificial intelligence to replace screenwriters.
As it is known, the strike had a negative impact on the film industry. For example, it caused the suspension of production of the fifth and final season of the popular Netflix series Stranger Things.
