Now the same fate has befallen the spin-off, House of the Dragon.

What is known

The final episode of the first season of the series is duewill air on HBO tomorrow, October 23 (or the night of October 24, depending on the country), but it has already been leaked to the Internet, and spoilers are spreading on social networks.

In a statement provided to IGN and Variety,HBO says it is "disappointed that this illegal action has disrupted the viewing experience for the show's loyal fans" and is "aggressively monitoring and retrieving these copies from the Internet." Distribution partners in Europe, the Middle East and Africa are suspected of leaking.

“We know that the tenth issue of the House of the Dragonwas posted on illegal torrent sites. It appears to have come from a distribution partner in the EMEA region. HBO actively monitors and extracts these copies from the Internet. We are disappointed that this illegal action has disrupted the viewing experience for the show's dedicated fans, who will see the pristine version of the episode when it airs Sunday on HBO and HBO Max, where it will air exclusively in 4K."
