“One of the few shows still shooting isHouse of the Dragon, as you may have read,” Martinwrote in a blog post. “That’s true. I am told the second season is half done. ALL of the scripts had been finished months before the WGA strike began. No writing has been done since, to the best of my knowledge.”

He continued, “HOTDis shot mostly in London (and a little bit in Wales, Spain and various other locations), which is why filming has continued. The actors are members of the British union, Equity, not SAG-AFTRA, and though Equity strongly supports their American cousins (they have a big rally planned to show that support), British law forbids them from staging a sympathy strike.”
