Actors Everywhere Are Currently Celebrating The SAG-AFTRA Strike Ending, So Here Are The Best Reactions

Yesterday, after 118 days on strike, negotiators for the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) announced that they've reached a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) that will end the longest TV and movie actors strike of all time.

In a statement to its union members, SAG-AFTRA wrote, "In a contract valued at over one billion dollars, we have achieved a deal of extraordinary scope that includes 'above-pattern' minimum compensation increases, unprecedented provisions for consent and compensation that will protect members from the threat of AI, and for the first time establishes a streaming participation bonus."

SAG-AFTRA added, "We have arrived at a contract that will enable SAG-AFTRA members from every category to build sustainable careers. Many thousands of performers now and into the future will benefit from this work."

Full details of the agreement will be provided after the SAG-AFTRA National Board reviews the tentative agreement. But the strike has officially ended, and actors everywhere are celebrating this monumental win for their industry.

Here are some of their reactions:

First, Jeremy Allen White, who was attending the premiere of his upcoming movie The Iron Claw, which was previously granted an interim agreement by SAG-AFTRA, found out about a deal being reached while being interviewed.

Similarly, Jeremy's costars Zac Efron and Harris Dickinson found out on The Iron Claw red carpet too.

Fran Drescher, who is the current president of SAG-AFTRA, wrote, "We did it!!!! The Billion+ $ Deal! 3X the last contract! New ground was broke everywhere! Ty sag aftra members for hanging in and holding out for this historic deal!"

Quinta Brunson posted on her Instagram story with the caption, "Oh, we're so back," and she shared this response when someone asked if Abbott Elementary Season 3 will begin filming soon.
