The show’s creators include Miguel Sapochnik, who has been directing some of the most exciting Episodes in Game of Thrones (“Battle of the Bastards”) and Ryan Condal ( Colony ) who wrote the concept for the series as well as the screenplays along alongside George RR Martin. The soundtrack to the show that Ramin Djawadi has been in charge, is just as important. Djawadi was awarded the Primetime Emmy Award for his work on Game of Thrones .
