Filmmaking in Hollywood has been disrupted for a couple of months now as the WGA (Writers Guild of America) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild—American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) were striking against the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers). Patrick Schwarzenegger, the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, was actively involved in the strike and often shared the progress on his social media.

The WGA was the first group to go on strike in May, demanding better pay and protection from Artificial Intelligence. The 11,500-member guild has now reached a tentative deal with studio giants like Netflix Inc., Walt Disney Co., NBCUniversal, and Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. Arnie’s son is excited about this new development.

Patrick Schwarzenegger celebrates WGA’s tentative deal with AMPTP

Hollywood came to a standstill as production houses were closed, and actors and writers took to the roads to protest against the prevailing work conditions. Despite economic losses, the screenwriters adhered to their ground, and their efforts have fetched them a tentative deal with AMPTP with better terms and conditions.

“We can say, with great pride, that this deal is exceptional – with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership,” the guild declared in an official statement. While the SAG-AFTRA is yet to reach an agreement, Patrick Schwarzenegger celebrated WGA’s victory.

Patrick Schwarzenegger has always been vocal about his thoughts on various issues, and the 30-year-old actor confirmed his solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA and WGA since the beginning of the strike. So, when the DiscussingFilm channel shared the news of the deal, the eldest son of Arnie commented, “LETS GO!!” on X. Earlier, he had taken to the streets holding placards.

The 30-year-old joined the strike back in July

It has been over two months since SAG-AFTRA joined the striking WGA. So, Patrick Schwarzenegger expressed his solidarity by rallying on the streets holding placards. However, his father, the action superstar of Hollywood, preferred silence over the issue.

But his half-brother, Joseph Baena, a Hollywood actor, offered his support to the actor and writer guilds. “I do stand with my brothers and sisters in the union,” he said in a live session while confessing that he missed auditioning for roles. 

Though the WGA reached an agreement, SAG-AFTRA is yet to make a settlement with major studios. While writers can breathe a sense of relief, the actors have to wait. What do you think of this? Let us know in the comments below.
