When Hollywood writers went on strike this week, a number of shows already in production had to make some changes to their production pipelines. One affected show is Amazon Studios' The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. According to Variety's sources, production on Season 2--which is currently filming in the UK--will continue, albeit without anyone responsible for writing being on set.

This affects executive producers and showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, as well as any other writer-producers, Variety reported. These people are "barred" from taking part in any writing or making creative decisions on set for as long as the WGA strike continues, the report said.

Variety went on to report that non-writing executive producers on The Rings of Power, as well as directors and crew who do not have writing responsibilities, will now overseeing production.
