HBO Suspends Overall Deal With 'Game of Thrones' Creator George R.R. Martin
As you may know, you can’t go on a strike without making some sacrifices. As the WGA and SAG-AFTRA joined hands in a history-making nationwide strike, author and screenwriter George R.R. Martin wrote a blog post to reveal that he’s already collecting losses from joining the strike. He commented on Season 2 of House of the Dragon — which is still filming despite the strikes — but his involvement with HBO productions has severely decreased in the last month.
Martin uses his blog to provide regular updates on anything related to Game of Thrones and the world of Westeros. In the latest entry, the writer revealed that the overall deal that he had signed with HBO “was suspended on June 1,” which suggests it was a reflection of the first month of the writers’ strike.
“I still have plenty to do, of course. In that, I am one of the lucky ones. 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.”George R.R.
Martin’s overall deal was signed in 2021, which originally put him in business with HBO and Max for at least five years. This means that Warner/Discovery had no problem in letting go of the remaining three years of the contract even though it had already resulted in a slate of Game of Thrones spin-offs getting developed. The author celebrated the fact that, amidst all of this, he can still work on the stage play The Iron Throne, and teases that a West End premiere is not far.
