“I am not in LA, so I cannot walk a picket line as I did in 1988, but I want to go on the record with my full and complete and unequivocal support of my Guild,” he wrote. In addition to providing an update on the various series affected by the strike, Martin also voiced unabashed support for those on the picket lines. Martin Expresses Support for Striking Writers He added that Winds “remains priority number one” (he previously said that the hotly anticipated novel was “about three-quarters of the way done). One thing that the strike won’t affect, Martin clarified, is the next Game of Thrones novel, The Winds of Winter, as the strike only extends to film and television writing. “We will try to place it elsewhere, but not until the strike is over,” he added. Meanwhile, Peacock has passed on Wilds Cards, a series Martin was working on based on the popular book series, he also revealed. A decision on a possible third season will not take place until after the strike is over. The writers have done their jobs the rest is in the hands of the directors, cast and crew… and of course the dragons).”Īddressing his other shows, Martin said AMC’s thriller series Dark Winds, on which he’s an executive producer, wrapped Season 2 filming months ago, and it will likely debut sometime this summer. “Every episode has gone through four or five drafts and numerous rounds of revisions, to address HBO notes, my notes, budget concerns, etc. “The scripts for the eight s2 episodes were all finished months ago, long before the strike began,” Martin wrote. He also confirmed that work on Season 2 of House of the Dragon, which began on April 11 in London and Wales, will continue. That prequel series is based on Tales of Dunk and Egg, and was officially unveiled for Max (formerly known as HBO Max) last month. Most significantly, if a little obvious: the writers’ room for spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight “has closed for the duration” as the team has hit the picket lines. Martin has provided an update on how it’ll impact the various Game of Thrones series in production.
