In a new interview with Comic Book Resources, director David Nutter has confirmed that he will be returning to helm two episodes for the fifth season of Game of Thrones.

Nutter tells CBR he’s directing episodes 9 and 10, and says, “We’ll be in Ireland, Croatia, Iceland and other parts of the world.” ‘Other parts’ of the world may be referring to Spain, if recent reports of location scouting and negotiation come to fruition.

The director has worked on Game of Thrones during its second and third seasons, including directing the notorious Red Wedding, but took a break during the fourth season.

In the interview, Nutter talks about being asked to take on the infamous episode, “The Rains of Castamere”:

All I know is the writers of the series, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, had talked to me during the season when they liked what I was doing. They said, “We want you to direct season three’s Red Wedding.” They kept saying how important it was and what a game-changer this episode was going to be. I started to get nervous immediately, and got very worried. As I started to get closer to it, and found out what I was doing, it was an awesome task to do these characters justice and do the story justice!

Ours is the Fury: Assuming Nutter’s remarks about locations are correct, the show won’t be cutting Iceland from its locations, despite what some had speculated. I figured Nutter would be back for season 5, but I’m happy to see it confirmed.
