Members of the Writers Guild of America have decisively ratified a new four-year contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. This agreement, approved by 90.4% of voters, concludes a significant phase of the 2026 Hollywood labor cycle.
The new contract addresses the financial health of the WGA health plan, which had reported substantial losses. It includes a $321 million infusion of new contributions, with studios providing $280 million, the largest employer-side contribution in guild history.
