Several scenes from the Season 2 finale of HBO’s House of the Dragon were leaked online on Tuesday, prompting the streamer to issue a statement, according to American media outlets.

The scenes were leaked on TikTok, days before the scheduled release on HBO and Max. A TikTok account posted 14 videos, totalling about 30 minutes of footage from the unreleased finale. Though the account which posted the videos was suspended by TikTok, the leaked clips have already made their way to X and Reddit.

“We are aware that clips from the ‘House of the Dragon’ season finale have surfaced across social media platforms. The clips were posted after an unintentional release from an international third-party distributor. HBO is aggressively monitoring and removing clips from the internet, and fans can watch the episode in its entirety this Sunday night on HBO and Max,” HBO said in a statement to American media on Wednesday

The incident is reminiscent of the House of the Dragon Season 1 finale leak, which occurred two days before its release date in October 2022. That leak also originated from a distribution partner in Europe, the Middle East or Africa, according to HBO.

Throughout its eight-season run, Game of Thrones experienced numerous online leaks, particularly during its final season. Several episodes of Season 8 appeared on piracy sites ahead of the air date in May, 2019.

The eighth and final episode of House of the Dragon Season 2 will stream on JioCinema in India on August 5 at 6.30am.
