Season six of Game of Thrones just ended this past Sunday, and already directors for the upcoming seventh season have been announced, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Earlier, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss said season seven would be the beginning of the end for the HBO fantasy drama.

The four directors for season seven include Game of Thrones veterans Alan Taylor, Jeremy Podeswa, and Mark Mylod as well as newcomer Matt Shakman, who has previously worked on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mad Men, and Fargo.

From EW:

– Alan Taylor: An Emmy-winning veteran of The Sopranos, Taylor helped pioneer the visual storytelling style of the show when he helmed the pivotal ninth and 10th episodes of season 1, particularly “Baelor” (the episode where Ned Stark was executed). The Thrones producers were so impressed they gave Taylor four episodes to helm in season 2 – including the premiere and the finale. Then Marvel snatched him up for Thor: The Dark World followed by Taylor reuniting with Emilia Clarke to direct her big-screen role inTerminator: Genisys. Now he’s back on Thrones for the first time since 2012.

– Jeremy Podeswa: The Canadian director and Boardwalk Empireveteran scored an Emmy nomination for directing the show’s most controversial hour, season 5’s darkly tense “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.” This year he directed the propulsive season premiere as well as Jon Snow’s riveting resurrection episode, “Home.”

– Mark Mylod: A four-time director on the show, the British veteran of Showtime’s Shameless and HBO’s Entourage took on this season’s uniquely textured re-introduction of the The Hound in “The Broken Man,” as well as Arya’s exciting chase sequence in “No One.”

– Matt Shakman: A newcomer to the series. Shakman is best known for his work on FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a comedy loved by Benioff and Weiss (the showrunners even wrote an episode, “Flowers for Charlie,” although it’s not one of the 39 episodes Shakman has directed). Shakman has also helmed episodes of AMC’sMad Men, CBS’ The Good Wife and FX’s Fargo.”
