Unions representing crew members are seeking better wages and job security provisions, among other demands, while studios and streamers are buying and developing fewer projects.

The UN Security Council adopted a resolution proposed by the US for a permanent ceasefire and release of the hostages in Gaza. The motion received 14 votes in favor and one abstention by Russia — the first time the council has endorsed such a plan to end the war. Hamas said it welcomed the resolution and is ready to engage with mediators in negotiations to implement the measures. Israel vowed to persist with its military operation in Gaza, saying it won’t engage in “meaningless” negotiations with Hamas. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the urgency of reaching an agreement, adding that the US and other world leaders would stand behind the ceasefire proposal.
