The end of the strike by US actors’ union Sag-Aftra comes after “an incredibly difficult period” for union members in the UK and “the whole UK film and TV industry”, creative industries trade union Bectu has said.

Sag-Aftra has reached a “tentative agreement” with the Alliance of Motion Picture and TV Producers (AMPTP) bringing to an end an historic 118-day walkout.
