This is not even about cutting the number of episodes. A new strike could lead to the delay of the show.
The highly anticipated season 2 of House of Dragon may face a setback due to the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike. The series has been a topic of discussion among fans since its announcement.
However, the latest development has raised concerns about the show’s production and release.
The prequel is set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones and focuses on the history of the Targaryen family.
The show features several dragons, battles, and political intrigue similar to Game of Thrones.
The writers’ strike has been looming over Hollywood for a few days now. Many projects have been put on hold as writers demand better pay and working conditions.
The situation is expected to affect several productions, including House of the Dragon. While the first season of the show was completed before the strike, the production of the second installment may be delayed.
However, Variety’s sources say that the series won’t be affected by the strike. The script is ready, but everyone knows that during filming, changing the scenes or rewriting replicas of characters are the common things.
If the strike continues, it will be very difficult for the crew to change parts of the script on the road.
House of the Dragon fans are understandably disappointed by the news.
The show has been warmly welcomed, and people already can’t wait for the sequel that will encompass the goriest parts of the Dance of the Dragons — the Targaryen civil war over succession.
The show has a talented team of writers, and George R.R. Martin, who wrote the saga that inspired HBO’s Game of Thrones, is also involved in the production.
Season 1 was praised for its storytelling, and fans were excited about the direction the second season would take.
However, the writers’ strike has already impacted several other popular shows, including Stranger Things, The Crown and Atlanta, which may also face delays.
The impact of the strike on the entertainment industry is significant, and it could be months before a resolution is reached.
Despite the setback, fans of House of the Dragon can take comfort in knowing that the project will eventually return. The strike may delay production, but it will not cancel the show.
House of the Dragon has a loyal fanbase, and it’s safe to say that the show’s creators will do everything possible to ensure that the second season lives up to expectations.
