SAG-AFTRA’s Board Overwhelmingly Approves New Netflix Contract, Which Now Goes To Members For Ratification

SAG-AFTRA’s national board has voted overwhelmingly to approve a new three-year contract with Netflix. The contract now goes to the guild’s membership for ratification.

SAG-AFTRA signed its first-ever overall deal directly with Netflix three years ago. Before that, the streaming giant dealt with the guild on a production-by-production basis. Guild officials said at the time that with few exceptions, the contract’s terms followed the guild’s Codified Basic Agreement and Television Agreements.

Deadline will update this story with the terms of the new contract when they become available.

CFO Katja Dürrfeld said, “The current headwind is rather like a hurricane, but we are optimistic for the second half of the year. We are therefore maintaining our outlook for the current fiscal year.”

The company maintained outlook for the current fiscal year.

The company still anticipates consolidated sales for the year as a whole of around 38.3 billion euros to 40.1 billion euros and an adjusted EBIT margin of around 4.7 to 5.7 percent. It includes additional costs of 3.5 billion euros as a result of the massive price increases for raw materials, semifinished products, energy and logistics.
