Writers' strike freezes 'Handmaid's Tale,' 'Game of Thrones' spinoff

The writers of Emmy-winning Hulu drama "The Handmaid's Tale" had penned some early episodes for a new season ahead of filming that was supposed to start in late summer, said co-executive producer and writer Yahlin Chang. Writing of the dystopian drama stopped when the Writers Guild of America (WGA) called a strike last week, Chang told Reuters on Monday.

Martin also expressed his "unequivocal support" for the WGA. "I hope the writers are given a fair deal as soon as possible," U.S. President Joe Biden said at a screening of the film "American Born Chinese" at the White House as part of a celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
