The Writers Guild of America has overwhelmingly approved a new contract agreement, the union said on its website.

The vote was 99 percent in favor, according to the union. The new contract will run from Sept. 25 through May 1, 2026.

The WGA went on strike on May 2 until it reached an agreement late last month with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents studios and streamers. The walkout caused the production of movies and TV shows to halt.

SAG-AFTRA, which represents actors, remains on strike and is negotiating with AMPTP.

Previous WGA strikes affected production of two James Bond movies, Licence to Kill (1989) and Quantum of Solace (2008).
