Directors Guild of America will ask members to approve the three-year contract, which was announced late on Saturday

The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since May 2, shutting down several TV and film productions, and has no new talks scheduled with the studios. In the DGA’s agreement, directors secured wage increases starting at 5% the first year, an increase in residuals from streaming, and a guarantee that “generative AI cannot replace the duties performed by members.”
