Well, at least the cast of Reaper won’t go on strike!

AFTRA and AMPTP burned the midnight oil Tuesday into Wednesday and today announced they had reached a tentative three-year deal on the dozen or so prime-time and cable shows over which AFTRA has jurisdiction.

The deal sees AMPTP giving way to AFTRA on the “actor’s consent” stipulation for use of movie clips online, which was also a stumbling block in SAG negotiations. While this clearly will put pressure on SAG to make a deal rather than strike, SAG’s fate is still up in the air as AMPTP and SAG are scheduled to resume negotiations this week.

For more details, I’ll be posting about this topic again, later tonight, in greater detail, over on my writing blog, ScriptSuperhero.com.
