Game of Thrones latest episode leaks; aired early on Germany’s Amazon Prime

The show, whose first episode of the eighth season premiered last week, airs on HBO at 9 pm Eastern Time

The second episode of the eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones” leaked on the Internet ahead of its scheduled broadcast time on HBO Sunday.

According to The Wrap, fans of the epic fantasy series alerted on social media about the leak, claiming that the to-be-aired episode was released early via Amazon Prime Video in Germany. The show, whose first episode of the eighth season premiered last week, airs on HBO at 9 pm Eastern Time.

Some social media users responded to the leak. “You can legally watch leaked episode on Amazon in Germany Game of Thrones,” a user wrote on Twitter. A German Reddit user posted, “Why can I see the second Episode yet (sic)?!” The post also featured a screenshot from Amazon Prime in Germany that showed the opening titles of the show, captioned: “Game of Thrones, Staffel 8 [dt./OV] Folge 2” or season eight, episode two.

The publication also confirmed that the second episode was in fact released early, adding that it could be viewed after clicking on an attached link. Representatives for HBO and Amazon Prime Video did not immediately respond to the request for comment. This is a second leak of the show after the highly-anticipated opening episode of the final season landed on DirecTV Now, four hours ahead of its premiere time last week.

The network also offered a 90 second-long “offical tease”, captioned as: “April 14. #ForTheThrone.”The video clip shows Jon Snow, Sansa and Arya – three members of the Stark family – making their way through the crypts under their family home. The viewer hears messages their from dead family members Ned and Catelyn Stark as well as Lyanna Stark, Ned’s sister and the mother Jon never knew.

When the troika reaches the crypt’s end, they come face-to-face with their own statues. As confusion clouds their faces, a fallen feather starts turning into ice and the crypt fills up with fog, cautioning that the winter is here – game of thrones.

Last week, HBO debuted new footage from the eighth season — that featured Jon, Sansa and Daenerys Targaryen — as part of its 2019 line-up. The network announced last November that the show’s final season will premiere in April 2019. Season eight has six episodes – each of which could run as long as 90 minutes. The shooting began in October 2017 and wrapped 10 months later.
