Variety reports that a roughly 30-second video, featuring multiple scenes from season eight's fourth episode, has found its way online, hours before the official broadcast.
The publication notes the clip features multiple climactic moments from the episode, including a major death.
The video has since been removed from YouTube and Twitter, though screenshots are still being posted on social media.
Leaks have been a huge problem for Game of Thrones this season: the premiere accidentally aired four hours early on DirecTV, the second episode leaked before being broadcast, and images from episode three were posted early online.
Episode four airs in the US on HBO at 2am BST. Sky Atlantic will simulcast the episode in the UK. You will also be able to stream each episode via NOW TV.
Pre-released images from the episode can be seen in the below gallery. The trailer for the episode can be watched above.
David Nutter – best known for directing the infamous Red Wedding – returns to helm episode four. Nutter also directed the first two episodes of the season. Showrunner David Benioff and DB Weiss have written the episode.
