SAG-AFTRA Executive Committee Endorses New Animation Contract for Member Vote

The SAG-AFTRA Executive Committee has unanimously approved the 2026 Television Animation Agreement, which now proceeds to members for ratification. This proposed four-year contract includes a 3% annual wage increase, retroactive to July 5, 2026, enhanced AI protections, and improved streaming residuals for high-budget animated SVOD programs. The agreement aims to provide animation voiceover performers with similar gains to the live-action contract, addressing key industry concerns.
