SAG-AFTRA is already lined up to be the first Hollywood guild to kick off 2026 contract negotiations with the studios and streamers, and both sides have some big asks of the other.
Among them, Deadline has learned, the now Greg Hessinger-led Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers is preparing to offer the actor’s union, the Christoper Nolan-run DGA and the WGA a massive injection of cash to get their respective Health Plan in tip-top shape. In response, the studios and streamers want the guilds to agree to shift their contract lengths from the current three-year span to more like five years.
