DGANegotiations2026WebHero_BeginsMay 11, 2026

Negotiations with the AMPTP began today and are scheduled to proceed through June 5.

As always, our goal is to achieve the best deal possible for our members during a time of tremendous change in the film and television landscape.

Thank you to the Guild’s 70-person negotiating committee — under the leadership of Chair Jon Avnet, Co-Chair Karen Gaviola, and Chief Negotiator Russ Hollander — for their work on this critically important process.

The Guild will keep members updated directly as we have news to share.

During this time, the DGA will observe a mutually agreed media blackout.
