The writers room of a recently ordered Game Of Thrones prequel series has been shut down “for the duration” amid the ongoing Hollywood strike, George RR Martin has said.

The veteran US author said that despite not being in Los Angeles to join the picket lines, he was offering his “full and complete and unequivocal” support of the strikers.
