Prolific fantasy writer George R. R. Martin has said in his blog post that the writing room for the ‘Game Of Thrones’ prequel series ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Night’ will resume for the “duration” of the ongoing writer’s strike in the United States. He begins the post by saying how no one wanted things to turn out this way, but the system gave me the guild no choice. He also informed that the production of the second season of ‘House Of Dragon’ is underway.

George R. R. Martin’s post read, “The Guild negotiated right up to the final deadline on May 1, but it takes two to tango. In the waning hours of May 1, the Writers Guild of America declared a strike. The action began on May 2. There are pickets in front of every studio lot and sound stage in LA, and many in other cities as well. Get used to them. I expect they will be there for a long time.
