"Game of Thrones" season eight has set the directors that will help in concluding the epic HBO fantasy series.
David Nutter, Miguel Sapochnik, and series creators David Benioff and D B Weiss will direct the final six episodes of the series, reported Variety.

Nutter directed "The Rains of Castamere", the episode which contained the infamous Red Wedding Scene. Most recently, he directed the season five finale "Mother's Mercy".
Sapochnik has directed some of the biggest episodes of the series as well, including "Battle of the Bastards," "Hardhome," and the season six finale "The Winds of Winter."
