Hollywood writers' strike comes to an end

After nearly five months, the second longest writer strike in Hollywood history has finally ended. The writers were able to secure meaningful gains and protections in every sector of their membership, as stated by the Guild leaders. The deal is still pending contract ratification and release, but it is expected to put pressure on the actors union and studios to reach a deal as well. However, the strike's resolution does not mean immediate production restart, as actors union and studio negotiations have been at a standstill.
