The Directors Guild of America has reached a tentative four-year deal with the major studios, wrapping up this year’s round of major negotiations with little drama or fanfare.
The DGA did not disclose terms of the deal, which still must be approved by the union’s board and sent to the members for ratification.
“Consistent with the Guild’s longstanding practice, terms of the agreement will not be released publicly until the National Board has completed its review,” the union said in a statement.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has now reached four-year agreements with all three of the major above-the-line guilds. SAG-AFTRA members voted to ratify their contract last week, and the Writers Guild of America approved a four-year deal in April.
“The AMPTP is pleased to have reached a tentative agreement with the DGA,” the studio group said in a statement. “We appreciate the hard work and commitment of our guild partners in achieving a fair deal that helps advance a stable and successful entertainment industry.”
Talks have been underway since May 11. The present contract was set to expire on June 30.
