Hodor And Bran Won’t Be In Season Five Of Game Of Thrones

If you’re a fan of Hodor (and for God’s sake, who isn’t), I’ve got some bad news: there’ll be no Hodoring for quite some time. In an interview with the ABC’s Monique Schafter which broadcast yesterday, Kristian Nairn of Hodor fame casually dropped that he’s not actually in Season Five of Game Of Thrones at all:

MONIQUE SCHAFTER: Fans around the world are hungry for the next series of Game of Thrones, but they’ll have to be patient.

KRISTIAN NAIRN: We’re not actually in Season Five, by the way. We have a season off. We have a year’s hiatus. 

SCHAFTER: Really?

NAIRN: Solely because, I imagine, our storyline is up to the end of the books. … So I get a year off now to do Rave of Thrones and gallivant all over the world.

This is bloody dreadful news, even aside from the fact that I did an interview with Nairn a couple of weeks ago and neglected to ask if he was still in the fucking show. No one asked! Not even Monique Schafter asked — bloody Hodor volunteered the information because no one thought to ask why he was touring Australia on a DJ set instead of filming with the rest of the GoT crew in Europe. He also volunteered the info that he was gay back in the day, too. People gotta start interviewing Hodor better.

He knows it, too. Look at his smug face.

Friggin’ Hodor.
