​HBO Airs 'Game Of Thrones' Episode Days Early By Accident

​HBO Airs 'Game Of Thrones' Episode Days Early By Accident

WARNING: Could contain spoilers

Game of Thrones fans have been scouring the internet for an early glimpse of season 7 episode 6 after HBO Spain reportedly broadcast the latest instalment a few days early by accident.

The trailer had caused a lot of excitement earlier this week, but now it looks like someone at HBO Spain got a little carried away and aired the full episode.

It was reportedly available for on-demand customers for a full hour before it was removed but that was more than enough time for those crafty internet pirates to download it and share away.

From the Battle of the Bastards to the Red Wedding, the penultimate episode of a Game of Thrones season is often the best.

And this sixth episode of the seventh season, 'Death Is The Enemy', which was due to air at the beginning of next week, meant there would then only be one left before the series takes a year-long break.

If we're honest, the episode did look pretty special. We've not seen the leak, which is all over Reddit, if you're that way inclined, but the trailer looked brilliant.

The rabble that headed north of the wall are shown on their mission, Jon and Dany were looking broody, the Hound was using Gendry's hammer, which might not be great news for Robert's bastard, and it looked like it could be a good one for Beric Dondarrion.

Downloads of the episode are being quickly removed from the internet but that has not stopped it being moved around several torrent sites.

It's not the first time a Game of Thrones episode has been leaked early and in the past hackers have released footage before it has been broadcast. The show's producers will be hoping this is the last time it happens.
