There has been plenty of interest through legal channels as well. The piracy figures don’t rival any records set by Game of Thrones just yet, but the show is on its way to becoming one of the most pirated shows of the year. In addition, many more used pirate streaming sites to watch the “House of the Dragon” premiere.Īs a result, the early release of “House of the Dragon” was the most pirated TV show on Sunday, even before the official version came out. Massive Interestīefore the official premiere, hundreds of thousands of people had already grabbed a ‘leaked’ copy through torrent sites. While many preferred to wait until the official release was out, hundreds of thousands were not that patient and chose to download or stream the pirated version instead. Whatever the source, fans were quick to spot this surprise release. The source of ‘leak’ is unknown, but it appears to come from an official HBO feed that was made available early. Pirated copies of the highly anticipated release surfaced roughly 15 hours before the official release. However, when fans were getting ready for the official release, many pirates had already finished the episode. The first “House of the Dragon” episode premiered on Sunday 9 pm Eastern Time in the United States and it was simulcasted in many other countries around the world.
This is a hard track record for the prequel “ House of the Dragon” to compete with, but early signs show that the ‘leak’ tradition continues. Game of Thrones also made headlines on several occasions when episodes leaked online before their official premiere. The popular TV series still holds the record for the largest torrent swarm and its releases caused a significant boost in global piracy traffic.
When it comes to piracy records and juicy headlines, the original Game of Thrones series holds the crown.
