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.
