It was incredibly tough to decide to move on, but I know that it is the right choice for me, personally and professionally.“As I do so, though, I am deeply comforted to know that Alan will be joining the series.
He’s someone I’ve known and respected for a long time, and I believe this precious series could not be in safer hands. I am so glad to remain a part of the HBO and House Of The Dragon family and, of course, I wish Ryan and his team success and all the best with season two and beyond.”House Of The Dragon, adapted from George R.R.
