Per Variety just now:

In an announcement Wednesday, [SAG-AFTRA] said the strike would officially end at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday.

The union’s negotiating committee approved the deal on a unanimous vote. The agreement next goes to the SAG-AFTRA national board for approval on Friday.


The AMPTP delivered its “last, best and final” offer on Friday, which included an increased bonus for actors who appear on the most-watched streaming shows. The offer did not include a key union priority — a share of revenue from each streaming platform.

SAG-AFTRA’s negotiating committee spent 12 hours on Sunday crafting its response. As of Monday, the union said that there remained differences on “several key items.” The AMPTP modified its AI language in a meeting on Monday night, leading to a 10-hour SAG-AFTRA committee meeting on Tuesday.

The committee met again on Wednesday morning to continue to its deliberations.

More details pending, but it seems likely that the "last, best and final offer" of the AMPTP was taken with some amendments around AI language. It's not immediately clear to me what the totality of that offer is, unfortunately, so I can't provide details like that yet. It is worth noting that several thousand SAG-AFTRA members made it known they'd rather strike than take a bad deal, though, so if this tentative agreement is perceived as against the rank-and-file's interests we may see significant opposition in the days to come.
