  • Writers on at least five TV shows have received performance-based streaming bonuses thanks to the terms negotiated in the latest WGA contract.

The article from MSN discusses how writers from at least five television shows have benefited from streaming bonuses due to a new contract negotiated by the Writers Guild of America (WGA). This contract, which was agreed upon after a strike, includes provisions for writers to receive additional compensation when their shows perform well on streaming platforms. The shows mentioned include "The Bear," "Jury Duty," "Poker Face," "Shrinking," and "Severance." These bonuses are part of a broader push for better compensation and residuals in the era of streaming media, reflecting the WGA's efforts to ensure that writers share in the success of their work in the digital space. The bonuses are calculated based on viewership data provided by streaming services, marking a significant change in how writers are paid in the evolving television industry landscape.
