“I have a bad feeling that this strike will be long and bitter,” said George R.R. Martin (“Game of Thrones”) in a blog post. “These strikes are not really about name writers or producers or showrunners, most of whom are fine; we’re striking for the entry-level writers, the story editors, the students hoping to break in, the actor who has four lines, the guy working his first staff job who dreams of creating his own show one day, as I did back in the 80s),” he wrote. Martin also explained season two of his “House of Dragons” has continued filming because scripts had been completed before the strike, filming is taking place in Europe, and actors are members of the British union, not SAG-AFTRA.
