## Resource

The 2026 SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical Agreement has now been ratified and covers a lot of ground. The four-year deal running through June 2030 includes important changes to working rules, money breaks, residuals, and of course digital replica and artificial intelligence restrictions. Please join Ryan Wedell of Sheppard, whose practice centers on guild and production counsel matters, and David Shraga, a mediator specializing in entertainment, media, and intellectual property, as they walk through the agreement's key provisions and discuss what the deal means for producers, talent, and future negotiations across the industry.
