Personal Managers Association
Netflix UK, the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (WGGB) and the Personal Managers’ Association (PMA) have signed a new deal on remuneration which will apply to UK writers on Netflix scripted live-action commissioned series. The deal became effective from 1 February 2024 and is the first agreement between a streaming service, the WGGB and the PMA.
Charlotte Knight, co-chair of the PMA Council, Dramatists and Directors Sector, and one of the working group of agents who negotiated the deal said: “We are thrilled to have finally agreed a trailblazing deal on terms for UK writers that moves away from granting rights in perpetuity and introduces a structure for ongoing payments.”
