After 118 days, the actors union has struck a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and ended the longest Hollywood strike in SAG-AFTRA's 90-year history. Since July 2023, the SAG strike shut down nearly all films and scripted TV shows, with the exception of soap operas and a handful of independent projects, which have different contracts.
Terms of the deal haven't been disclosed following the news that broke late on Nov. 8, but multiple reports indicate the agreement is for three years.
As the good news spread, a bevy of Hollywood stars publicly reacted with glee.
"Incredible. I'm so happy we were all able to come to an agreement. Let's get back to work. Let's go," "The Iron Claw" star Zac Efron told Deadline.
