The list of directors for Game of Thrones Season 6 has been revealed and “Hardhome” helmer Miguel Sapochnik is on board for the final two episodes. Largely considered to the be the best episode of Season 5, this decision is likely to make fans happy. Here is the rest of the list.

Jeremy Podeswa (Episodes 1 & 2): Directed episodes of Showtime’s Tudors and HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, Podeswa may not make fans jump for joy. He directed two episodes from Game of Thrones Season 5, “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken” and “Kill the Boy,” and we know what happened there.

Daniel Sackheim (3 & 4): Sackheim directed episodes of several Fox shows (The X-Files, Lie to Me, House) and six episodes of FX’s The Americans. This will be his first Game of Thrones gig.

Jack Bender (5 & 6): Bender directed 38 episodes of Lost. He’s also directed episodes of CBS’ Under the Dome, TNT’s The Last Ship and Fox’s Alcatraz.
