What's next after writers reach tentative deal to end strike

Season 2023 Episode 279 | 7m 51s

Writers and the major studios reached a tentative deal after nearly five months of striking. In the coming days, members of the Writers Guild of America will vote to approve the new contract, which includes pay increases to keep up with streaming and protections around the use of artificial intelligence.
