Hollywood actors celebrate the end of historic strike

The actors' union's negotiating team announced on Wednesday that the union had reached a tentative agreement with the group representing studios and streamers, ending the 118-day strike that began July 14.

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) announced the strike would end at midnight on Thursday. The SAG-AFTRA negotiating team agreed to a new three-year contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) representing eight major studios and streamers.

D.W. McCann, US actor and SAG-AFTRA member said "I feel relieved, I feel a weight that we had been tensing up, not knowing how long this fight was gonna go, and now we can release that tension. And hopefully the contract is what we need it to be. And it can just be behind us and we can get back to work."
