‘House Of The Dragon’ Book Changes Keep Showrunner ‘Up At Night’

House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condall admits that adapting book changes is a challenging process. Phia Saban has addressed the significant modifications made to Helaena Targaryen in the HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin's Fire and Blood, particularly regarding her captivity by Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen in the season 3 finale. As the series enters its final season, the production continues to diverge from the original source material, establishing its own unique narrative path.
