On Tuesday night, just days before the episode’s official airing on August 4th, several scenes from the finale surfaced on TikTok. A single account managed to post over 14 videos, totaling around 30 minutes of leaked footage. These clips quickly garnered hundreds of thousands of views before the account was eventually banned. However, the damage was already done, as the videos had been widely shared across other platforms like Twitter/X and Reddit.
This isn’t the first time House of the Dragon has faced such a setback. The Season 1 finale also leaked online just days before its official release. While the source of the previous leak was traced back to a distribution partner in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, the origin of the Season 2 leak remains unknown.

With a dedicated fanbase eager to consume every detail of their favorite shows, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for studios to keep content under wraps. Despite attempts to curb leaks, such as withholding screeners from journalists, it seems that nothing can fully prevent spoilers from reaching the internet.
