HBO breaks the silence on the “House of the Dragon” Season 2 leak

HBO is buzzing with drama, and it’s not just on screen! The season 2 finale of “House of the Dragon” leaked online, setting social media ablaze. Videos from the eighth episode, scheduled for an August 4 premiere, were posted on Tiktok, moving across social media nonstop.

HBO broke the silence on these leaks, revealing that they occurred due to a mistake made by a third-party distributor. The clips seem to have been taken from a secondary device, with someone filming the final episode from another camera. The company will take action on this issue by removing any clips that spoil the season 2 finale of the show.

“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.”

This marks the second consecutive season where “House of the Dragon’s” finale leaked. Often, the franchise has episodes slip out during the week before airing due to global distribution processes.
