Major New Deal Approved For TV Actors

Streaming Demand Still Rising In 2022

Regular stars of various series could start appearing more often as guest stars or even regulars on other shows across various streaming platforms and networks.

After a decade of lobbying to curtail ‘exclusivity’ agreements regarding TV series regulars, actor’s union SAG-AFTRA has approved a deal that will allow actors to appear on multiple shows at the same time.

In the agreement, producers will be required to give actors a three-month window after each season in which they can take any job they want. It also limits the reasons a producer may stop a series regular from accepting an appearance on another program.

The new agreement will apply to work under contracts entered into on or after January 1st.
