An official announcement could still be a few days away, but I’ve been told by someone inside the WGA and Producers negotiations that the two sides have indeed come to an agreement in principle and are each sending the deal back to their respective bodies to be voted on and ratified.
How long that process takes is something I just don’t know, but I can’t imagine it would be more than a couple of days barring any complications (and this whole stupid affair has been filled with complications).
I’ve said for a while now that if the Producers are able to come to a quick agreement with the Director’s Guild, and if the Writer’s came to their senses and took Reality TV jurisdiction off the table, that a deal would be struck quickly. Looks like it may been even quicker than I thought. For all I know a press release may come out today, so keep your eyes open.
