The Hollywood labor disruption ends with the SAG-AFTRA strike settlement, and the industry is slowly picking up the pieces. The agreement between SAG-AFTRA and Hollywood studios regarding artificial intelligence has set a precedent for AI compensation requirements in future labor movements. Despite opposition from some actors, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO, David Zaslav, acknowledges the striking writers' rights and admits to possibly overpaying them in a deal valued at $700M. The strikes have had a significant economic impact, and the ongoing identity crisis in corporate entertainment continues to shape Hollywood's future. In a positive turn, productions like The Last of Us Season 2 and Gladiator 2 are set to resume. Furthermore, New York City is set to benefit from the construction of East End Studios, expected to create 1,500 jobs and contribute to the city's film and TV industry.
