New Delhi: According to The Hollywood Reporter, clips from the eighth episode, scheduled to air on August 4, were illegally uploaded to TikTok on Tuesday night and quickly spread to other social media platforms.
These clips appear to have been recorded by someone filming the screen from a secondary device.
HBO released a statement saying, “We’re aware that clips from the final episode of House of the Dragon season one have surfaced on social media platforms. These clips were posted after being inadvertently released by an international third-party distributor. HBO is aggressively monitoring and removing clips from the internet, and fans can watch the full episode this Sunday night on HBO and Max.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ‘Game of Thrones’ franchise has faced similar problems before, often occurring when episodes are sent to HBO’s global content partners just before airing. For example, the 2022 leak was traced to a distributor covering Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
‘House of the Dragon’ is set two hundred years before the events of ‘Game of Thrones,’ the megahit HBO show that ran for eight seasons from 2011 to 2019.
