Does that mean that I can expect new show soon? A deal was reached on Sunday and a tentative deal was unanimously approved! The WGA is nearly back in business. Showrunners are heading back to work today to get things set up for an easy transition!
The boards for both branches of the Writers Guild of America on Sunday unanimously approved the tentative deal reached on a new contract. The boards are also taking the final decision on lifting the strike to membership in a vote on Tuesday.
In the meantime, showrunners will get going even sooner, heading back to work Monday to get crews set up and production facilities going again, as will writers who have producing duties on their shows. Ballots to ratify the three-year deal are also going out to members, and will be returned within a 10-12 day period.
HOORAH!
