Staffing and Duration Provisions for Episodic Series

Development rooms (aka pre-greenlight rooms) and regular writers’ rooms for television and HBSVOD series will now have requirements regarding the minimum number of writers who must be hired and the duration of their employment. These new provisions go into effect for seasons where the first episode is written after December 1, 2023 assuming ratification in October.

Development rooms: Once 3 writers are convened before a series order, at least 3 writer-producers (including the showrunner) are guaranteed 10 consecutive weeks of employment.

Development rooms where writers are guaranteed 20 weeks of work or more are treated as post-greenlight rooms. For these rooms on first season shows, the minimum staff size required will be 3 writer-producers (including the showrunner). For these rooms in the second or subsequent season of a show the required minimum number of writers is determined by the anticipated episode order.
Post-greenlight rooms: The following requirements are triggered depending on the number of episodes ordered, unless a single writer is engaged to write all episodes:

# of Episodes Minimum # of writers in writers’ room Minimum # of Writer-Producers in writers’ room

6 or fewer 3 3

7-12 5 3

13+ 6 3

# of Episodes	Minimum # of writers in writers’ room	Minimum # of Writer-Producers in writers’ room

7-12	5	3
13+	6	3

Technically the ratification vote goes Oct 2nd - 9th, but should easily sail through. {nm} notfabio Sep 26, 17:42

The real tricky part is compensation for or limitations on AI repurposing of past performances that Netflix/Video Games Cos want. notfabio Sep 26, 18:06
