The Season 2 finale of HBO's House of the Dragon has leaked online days before its scheduled premiere on August 4. Numerous clips from the episode were posted on TikTok and quickly spread to other platforms like X and Reddit, garnering significant views before being taken down. This leak, reportedly originating from a TikTok account, follows a similar pattern seen with the Season 1 finale and episodes of Game of Thrones, which also faced premature online releases. HBO has stated that they are actively monitoring and removing the leaked content. Fans have expressed frustration over the leaks, which they believe spoil the viewing experience and harm the creators. Despite the leaks, previous instances have shown that viewership numbers remained strong when episodes officially aired.
