Michael Buckner for Variety The Writers Guild of America has made a surprise deal with the major studios, nearly a month before the union’s contract was due to expire.
The guild reached a tentative agreement on Saturday with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The deal will run for four years — instead of the typical three-year term — a significant benefit to the studios, which will get an extra year without the possibility of a strike.
