George RR Martin confirmed the news of his bespoke crease via his blog.
George R. R. Martin he expressed his full support for the Writers Guild and the ongoing strike. In a blog post by him, the co-creator of game of Thrones revealed that “the writers’ room for the spin-off titled ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Night’ is closed.”
Beginning his blog post with “The strike is on,” Martin went on to convey his thoughts on the work stoppage. “No one wanted this, no writer with an ounce of common sense, anyway, but the producers, studios, networks and streaming platforms gave us no choice,” he wrote. “The Guild negotiated until the final deadline on May 1, but it takes two to tango. In the late 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 and soundstage in Los Angeles, and other cities as well. Get used to them. I hope they are there for a long time.”
“I’m not in Los Angeles, so I can’t picket like I did in 1988, but I want to record my full, complete and unequivocal support for my union.”he reiterated.
Martin also highlighted the state of his other shows, including the second season of Dark Winds, which wrapped production several months ago and is expected to premiere this summer on AMC. He added that no decision on a third season will be made until after the strike. House of the Dragon production of its second season continues in London and Wales. The scripts for all eight episodes of s2 were finished months ago, long before the strike began. Each 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 more reviews,” he wrote.
The Hedge Knight prequel series is based on a series of novels centering on the future Lord Commander of the Kingsguard named Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire known as Egg.
The Official Tagline: A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes roamed Westeros… a naive but brave young knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an era when the Targaryen lineage still holds the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has yet to pass from living memory, great destinies, powerful enemies and dangerous feats await these unlikely and incomparable friends.
The prequel series game of Thrones is written and produced by Martin and Ira Parker. The co-creator/executive producer/showrunner of House of the Dragon Ryan Condal and Vince Gerardis they will also executive produce.
