SAG-AFTRA will resume its negotiations with the major studios on April 27, thanks to an early agreement with the Writers Guild of America.

The performers’ union broke off talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on March 15. The two sides had been at the table for five weeks at that point, and expected to resume bargaining in June, after the AMPTP talked to the WGA and the Directors Guild of America.
