Martin also explained why Condal made the decision to kill off Maelor, saying:
“When Ryan Condal first told me what he was going to do, years ago (probably in 2022), I was against it, for all these reasons. Ryan had practical reasons for it; they didn’t want to deal with casting another child, especially a two-year-old. Kids that young would inevitably slow down production, and there would be budgetary consequences. Budget was already an issue on House of the Dragon, and it made sense to save money wherever we could.”
