This agreement sets the terms of engagement until December 31, 2017.
The new agreement includes automatic jurisdiction over TV series bibles written by WGC members, which were not covered in the previous agreement. Also key to the deal is an improved royalty formula, which will result in WGC members seeing royalty payments sooner and on more projects. The new royalty formula also applies to digital productions, such as web series, when they are sold for use on conventional television.
