The writers strike in Hollywood has officially ended, with Bill Maher announcing the return of his HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday. Late-night talk shows are expected to return to work soon, while scripted shows will take longer as actors are still on strike. The three-year contract agreement includes wins for writers in areas such as compensation, length of employment, and control of artificial intelligence. Writers will receive a raise of 3.5-5% in pay and future residual earnings, as well as bonuses for popular streaming shows. The agreement also ensures regulation and control of AI in the industry.
