The approval of the three-year contract by members of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) was not certain, with some prominent members expressing dissent.

The 78% approval result in voting, which began on Nov. 13 and concluded on Tuesday, was a significant relief for SAG-AFTRA leaders and the entertainment industry, aiming to return to normalcy after months of labor unrest.

This marks the official end to Hollywood's most tumultuous year in half a century, with two historic strikes that shook the industry. Just over 38% of members cast votes, according to SAG-AFTRA.
