After the writers’ union wrapped a surprise deal with studios and streamers over the weekend, SAG-AFTRA announced that it will return to the bargaining table by the end of the month.
The performers’ union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers will return to negotiations on April 27, the two parties said in a joint statement on Monday. The sides previously broke off talks on March 15 after failing to reach a deal in their first scheduled bargaining period.
Industry observers will be watching to see if SAG-AFTRA will also prolong the term of its contract, as the WGA did, to four years instead of the typical three.
More to come.
