New Leadership
Sapochnik, who previously directed key episodes ofGame of Thrones, talked about how he teamed up with Condal. “We’d been introduced by a mutual agent [and] we got on, so we started looking for to do things together. We had a television show for Conan at Amazon, which we’d set up, and a show at Warner Brothers. And then this kind of came along, and I think I had gone off to do something. But by the time I came back, Ryan had already written a first draft and called me and said, ‘Do you want to get involved?’ And that was kind of it. I don’t think you get to choose your projects as much as they choose you. It’s like, no, it comes along and you just got to go.”
