Executive Producer Jocelyn Diaz will not be returning to Dragon House For season 2. According to LimitDiaz had a one-year deal with a second option for HBO Game of thrones prequel, although sources indicate that the option was not picked. Diaz’s exit comes after it was announced that co-host Miguel Saposhnik would be stepping down from the role for the second season, leaving Ryan Condall as the sole co-host for the second season, which was greenlit shortly after the series debuted.

The series is based on George R.R. Martin fire and blood It is set approximately 200 years before the events of Game of thrones, tells the story of the House of Targaryen. House of the Dragon was so successful for HBO that it led to an early renewal for the series’ second season, with it being announced that Sapochnik would step down soon after. Condall recently broke his silence about the change in leadership, opening up about the challenges it poses.

“We had a chat in the summer — exactly when the show first came out. I knew it was something he was grappling with,” Condall said. diverse “He had nothing left to prove in Westeros, I don’t think so. He unleashed all kinds of battles: good and evil, light and dark, fantasy and not fantasy, dragon nor dragon. He said what he had to say in Westeros. I knew it was always a possibility that He does one season, and he puts this thing on his feet [and] Be proud to have a hand in the actual creation of the Game of Thrones story. It’s been lingering in the back of my mind, and I know how much that involved doing another season of the show, would he want to get on the horse again? I was really shocked. He is very talented. And I’m really proud of the work we’ve done. But I’m excited to see what he has in store now.”

Kondal also said he’s excited about the story the series will tell in Season 2, even if going for it without Sapochnik is a bit daunting.

“It’s a lot,” he said. “It’s one of those things where I’ve heard, for example, presidents saying they’re always more afraid about their second term than their first because they know what job they’re headed for.” “I certainly don’t compare this job to the presidency at all. But he’s lonely at the top, and now I find myself lonely at the top. Fortunately, I have a great team around me. I’m excited for a story that we’re going to tell you in season two. There are thousands of people who are starting to make this. It’s I have to be able to be a great leader and try to inspire people, hopefully with some good writing, to get the best. Practice it and make another great season of the show,”
