Because when the pilot for the TV show was being written, the first novel wasn't even out, in fact only a few chapters had been finished. The second novel was being written while the first season was being filmed – they can't film something that hasn't been written yet, so obviously they were filming a different story.

While the TV series is based on the book's premise, it's not based on the book's plot. While they use a few of the same character names, all the characters are different. These are two separate series that were created on the same premise but tell different stories.
