The Writers Guild of America on Tuesday announced its decision to end its strike after agreeing to a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers earlier this week, ending a 148-day-long work stoppage that has crippled productions across the industry.

The leadership of the WGA West and the WGA East unanimously voted to end the strike on Wednesday, allowing writers to return to work, and recommend the agreement reached withe studios.

The tentative deal will have be ratified by the union’s members who will be able to vote on it from October 2 to October 9.

Writers were pushing for streaming residuals and protections against the threat of AI in the film industry.
