Yes, I know,
Game of Thrones season 8 isn’t coming
until 2019. While we still (maybe) have another winter to get through before we reach the promised land of the final six episodes, we now know who will be directing each episode, and in what order. The Red Wedding and
Battle of the Bastards directors have a huge role to play – so expect deaths, dragons and battles. Lots of battles.
Winter is Coming have worked out the directing order for each episode, which is as follows: Episodes 1, 2, and 4 will be directed by
The Winds of Castamere (aka the Red Wedding) director David Nutter. Meanwhile, episodes 3 and 5 are placed in the very capable hands of Miguel Sapochnik, of Battle of the Bastards fame. The sixth episode, the season finale, will be helmed by showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss themselves.
