It's been a long 184 days of striking for Hollywood writers. But fortunately for them, they're going back to work. The Writers Guild of America reached an agreement on a three-year minimum basic agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The WGA unanimously voted to lift the union's strike as of 12:01 a.m. today (on Wednesday, September 27th). The new tentative agreement includes increased health and pension contribution rates, minimum rate increases until 2025, increased health and pension contributions and protections against artificial intelligence, among other points. Members will officially vote on the agreement in early October. Late night and day time talk shows may be the first to return. There will be a longer wait for scripted shows because the actors' strike hasn't been settled.

Check out what astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said below.
