On social media, where so much of the messaging and energy behind the Writers Guild strike could be found for the past 142 days, the message on Tuesday night was clear: “We won.” The deal worked out between the WGA and the AMPTP, as Natalie Jarvey explains for VF, offers many victories to the writers, including data-streaming transparency, protections against AI, and minimum staffing for writers rooms. The contract will still have to go out to the broader membership for ratification, but in sharing the contract details the WGA declared the strike over—and declared victory too.
Elsewhere in HWD, late-night shows are swiftly preparing their return, with Last Week Tonight set to lead the pack with a new episode this coming Sunday, October 1; Savannah Walshshares details from Tuesday night’s onstage conversationbetween Kerry Washington and Vanity Fair’s Radhika Jones; Anthony Breznican has a first look at Leave the World Behind, the thriller starring Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali headed to Netflix this fall; and Maureen Ryanmarks the end of Reservation Dogs, the FX series with a generosity of spirit that made it “irreverent and exceptional.”
