Directing feels really simple by comparison. I’m producing other directors and getting involved in a lot of the minutiae. He noted the job switch was so challenging that it made directing seem easier. Sapochnik directed many acclaimed episodes of Thrones - such as “Battle of the Bastards” and “The Winds of Winter” - but this marks his first time serving as showrunner.

This is something else, and should be something else. “If you start every sentence with that, you’ve lost. “That said, we can’t say, ‘Well, when we did Thrones, we did it this way …'” he added. Like, I’m not arriving going, ‘Let’s change everything! Let’s do a different color palette!’ No, I quite like the color palette.
And I was involved in making the original show, so I feel like that’s been useful. So the most important thing for us to do is to respect that show as much as possible and try and complement it rather than reinvent it. We’re standing on the shoulders of that show and we’re only here because of that show. But first, it’s very important to pay respects and homage to the original series, which was pretty groundbreaking. House of the Dragon has its own tone that will evolve and emerge over the course of the show. “It wasn’t broken, so we’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. “I think we were very respectful of what the original show is,” said Sapochnik, who directs multiple episodes of Dragon and also serves as showrunner along with series co-creator Ryan Condal.
