HBO issues statement on how *those* House of the Dragon season finale leaks happened
‘The clips were posted after an unintentional release from an international third-party distributor’
The season finale of House of the Dragon was struck by leaks yesterday after around 30 minutes of footage from the HBO show started circulating online, according to Variety. Despite the initial TikTok account that leaked the footage being swiftly banned, the 14 videos they posted were quickly reshared to Twitter and Reddit.
HBO has now addressed the House of the Dragon season finale leaks in a statement, saying: “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 isn’t the first time House of the Dragon has suffered from leaks after the season one finale was leaked two days before it was supposed to air. In a statement at the time, HBO said: “We are aware that the tenth episode of House of the Dragon has been posted on illegal torrent sites. It appears to have originated from a distribution partner in the EMEA region. HBO is aggressively monitoring and pulling these copies from the internet.
“We’re disappointed that this unlawful action has disrupted the viewing experience for loyal fans of the show, who will get to see a pristine version of the episode when it premieres Sunday on HBO and HBO Max, where it will stream exclusively in 4K.”
