Pre-production on the Game of Thrones prequel The Hedge Knight has been shut down due to the WGA writers strike.
has been temporarily shut down until the strike reaches a fair conclusion. This comes after nearly a month after the project was given an official straight-to-series order by Max.
“How long will the strike last? No idea. Maybe the AMPTP members will come to their senses tomorrow and offer some meaningful concessions, and the whole thing can be wrapped up next week,” Martin wrote on his blog as he recalls previous experience with past WGA strikes. “I would not bet the ranch on that, however. I have been through several of these since I first started writing for television and film in 1986.
“The scripts for the eight S2 episodes were all finished months ago, long before the strike began,” Martin wrote. “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).
The prequel will be written and executive produced by both Martin and Ira Parker. Additional executive producers are Ryan Condal and Vince Gerardis. Other potential Game of Thrones spin-offs are in the works at HBO, which include a Jon Snow-centered series featuring the return of Kit Harington.Maggie Dela Paz has been writing about the movie and TV industry for more than four years now.
