The aftermath of the ongoing writers’ strike in the US by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is that many several popular shows including Netflix’s martial arts drama ‘Cobra Kai Season-6’, sitcom show ‘Abbott Elementary’, and the thriller series ‘Yellowjackets’ have been put on hold. But will the writers’ strike also have an adverse effect on the hotly anticipated ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel series ‘House of the Dragon Season-2’?
Fans of HBO’s fantasy drama series ‘House of the Dragon’ can heave a sigh of relief because the WGA strike has not affected the show so far. It’s because of the reason that the script for the second season of the HOTD was already ready for some time now (as per Variety). So, unless there is a need for some urgent change in script, the strike will most likely not make an impact on or delay ‘House of the Dragon Season-2’.
Currently, ‘House of the Dragon S2’ started filming in the UK last month and will later commence shooting in Spain. If the filming schedule continues as planned, the second season of the Golden Globe winning show should make its premiere sometime in the summer months of 2024. Also, the much-awaited Season-2 of ‘House of the Dragon’ will have eight episodes compared to the opening season’s ten episodes.
The ‘House of the Dragon’ series is based on some segments of George R. R. Martin’s 2018 fantasy novel ‘Fire & Blood’ and the goings-on takes place around two centuries before the events of ‘Game of Thrones’ and revolves around the beginning of the end of House Targaryen. Currently, the HBO show is not streaming anywhere in India, but it’s expected to soon find a new streaming home (JioCinema) courtesy the multi-year content partnership between Warner Bros Discovery and Viacom 18.
