After spending much of last week hammering out a new contract, the actors' union SAG-AFTRA says it's now reviewing what the studios call their "last, best, and final offer."
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) presented the offer Saturday.
In an email, SAG-AFTRA's TV Negotiating Committee said, "We are reviewing it and considering our response within the context of the critical issues addressed in our proposals."

Actors are striking over residual payments for streaming and the use of artificial intelligence, among other issues.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) reached a deal with studios in late September, after almost five months of striking.
Today marks the 115th day of the actors' strike.
