There’s been a big shakeup inside #HouseoftheDragon.

The #GameofThrones prequel co-showrunner and director Miguel Sapochnik is stepping down from the freshly launched hit series: thr.cm/yHGmgFA Image
#Emmys-winning #GameofThrones veteran Alan Taylor will join the team for #HouseoftheDragon season two thr.cm/yHGmgFA Image
Sources say Miguel Sapochnik is exiting the show after pouring an exhausting three years of effort into the #GameofThrones prequel. Ryan Condal will now serve as the show’s sole showrunner and continue to work closely with co-creator George R.R. Martin thr.cm/yHGmgFA Image
Miguel Sapochnik worked for months helping develop #HouseoftheDragon with Ryan Condal. But he was reluctant to officially join the show, a stance that perhaps foreshadowed his current exit. “Miguel said, “I’m never doing Thrones again,” Condal recalled thr.cm/yHGmgFA Image
"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," said Miguel Sapochnik thr.cm/yHGmgFA
