The Season 2 finale of 'House of the Dragon' was leaked online five days before its scheduled airing on HBO and Max. Clips from the episode spread rapidly across social media platforms like TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Reddit, prompting HBO to issue a statement confirming that the leak originated from an international third-party distributor. HBO is actively monitoring and removing these clips to mitigate spoilers. This is not the first time the show has faced such an issue; the Season 1 finale also leaked days before its official release. Despite HBO's efforts to prevent piracy, including not sending screeners to journalists, the clips managed to reach a substantial audience. Fans are encouraged to watch the full episode on its official release this Sunday.
