blog post that the writers’ room on the “Game of Thrones” spin-off “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight” has shut down for the duration of the Writers Guild of America strike. “Ira Parker and his incredible staff of young talents are on the picket lines,” Martin said.
Meanwhile, filming is underway on the second season of “House of the Dragon” in London and Wales. “The scripts for the eight S2 episodes were all finished months ago, long before the strike began,” he continued. “Every episode has gone through four or five drafts and numerous rounds of revisions, to address HBO notes, my notes, budget concerns, etc.
There will be no further revisions. The writers have done their jobs; the rest is in the hands of the directors, cast and crew… and of course the dragons.”Additionally, he noted that the second season of “Dark Winds” wrapped several months ago with post-production already completed on five of the six episodes.
The series is expected to air this summer on AMC and no decision on the third season will be made until after the strike. Martin also offered an update on “Wild Cards,” which has been passed on by Peacock and will try to be placed elsewhere after the strike is over.
