For all you Game of Thrones fans who've hated watching Hodor drag Bran Stark to the ends of Westeros to meet a guy living under a tree, here's some good news. Kristian Nairn, the actor/DJ (no, seriously) who plays Hodor, told Yahoo! News today that he and his crew north of The Wall will be absent for the entire next season of GoT.

"We have a season off and we have a year's hiatus," said Nairn, "solely because I imagine our storyline is up to the end of the books."

This is pretty huge news, since eliminating an entire plotline for a season will give Thrones the ability to focus its time on—let's be honest, far more exciting—things. It also means one other thing: more DJing for Hodor. "I get my year off now to do Rave of Thrones and gallivant all over the world," Nairn added.

Good luck with that, bro.
