HBO Issues Statement After House of the Dragon Season 2 Finale Leaks Online

As a dedicated fan who has been through the rollercoaster ride that is waiting for Game of Thrones episodes to air without any spoilers leaking online, I must say it’s disheartening to see history repeating itself with House of the Dragon Season 2 finale. It feels like a cruel twist of fate that just when we thought we could finally enjoy a show without worrying about leaks, we find ourselves back at square one.


HBO has issued a statement regarding the House of the Dragon Season 2 finale leaking online.

As a devoted Game of Thrones prequel fan, I can’t contain my excitement for the House of the Dragon Season 2 finale arriving August 4, 2024. Regrettably, some sneaky leaks have surfaced earlier than expected. On July 30, 2024, a TikTok account posted unauthorized clips from the finale, which quickly spread to other social media platforms.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO recently released a statement about an early leak. Incidentally, the final episode of House of the Dragon Season 1 was among those that surfaced online prematurely. It’s worth noting that Game of Thrones has experienced similar leaks in the past, with episodes becoming available before their official air date.

What did HBO say about the House of the Dragon Season 2 finale leak?

“It’s come to our attention that snippets of the House of the Dragon season finale have been shared online through various social media sites. These clips were mistakenly leaked by an overseas distributor. To prevent spoilers, we are actively taking down these clips from the internet. So, fans can enjoy the full episode this Sunday evening on HBO and Max.”

Centuries prior to the storyline of Game of Thrones, the series House of the Dragon was crafted by authors George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal.

The main characters include Emma D’Arcy portraying Rhaenyra Targaryen, Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen, Olivia Cooke in the role of Alicent Hightower, Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, Steve Toussaint as Corlys Velaryon, Fabien Frankel playing Criston Cole, Matthew Needham as Larys Strong, Harry Collet as Jace Velaryon, Tom Glynn-Carney as Aegon II Targaryen, Ewan Mitchell as Aemond Targaryen, and Phoebe Campbell as Rhaena Targaryen.
