Talks between the Actors Guild and studio representatives will resume on Monday, two and a half months after more than 160,000 guild members went on strike and a week after the Writers Guild of America and AMPTP reached a tentative contract agreement.

SAG-AFTRA negotiators will meet with several executives from AMPTP member companies to work on new television and theatrical programming. shrinkageaccording to the union.
SAG-AFTRA and the WGA sought changes to contracts related to waste streams and artificial intelligence. Actors are also demanding better transportation expenses for actors working out of state or country and limited extended breaks between television seasons in order to give actors more stability while on contract.
The WGA has voted to allow its members to return to work following a tentative agreement reached this week.
SAG-AFTRA has been on strike since July 14.
