After 148 days on strike, television and movie writers will begin returning to work on Wednesday.

The Writers Guild of America, which represents 11,500 screenwriters, said on Tuesday that three internal boards had voted unanimously to end the strike and send a tentative contract with entertainment companies to members for ratification. The vote will start on Monday and conclude on Oct. 9.

Members are expected to approve the three-year deal.
