‘House of the Dragon’ Season Finale Leaks Online

The season ending for HBO’s “House of the Dragon” has actually dripped online ahead of Sunday’s airing … and the streaming giant is implicating its circulation partner as the factor.

The last episode for the “Game of Thrones” prequel turned up unlawfully on gush websites Friday, providing patiently-waiting fans a possibility to see how the climactic season ends prior to the main air date.

HBO believes it pin-pointed the issue, however — in addition to pulling the episode from the web, a representative informed The Hollywood Reporter, “It appears to have actually stemmed from a circulation partner in the EMEA area,” which lies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The business includes, “HBO is strongly keeping track of and pulling these copies from the web” … keeping in mind how frustrating it is for the program to leakage early.
