The HBO show based on the "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series by author George R. R. Martin is one of the most popular ones right now, and fans had been eagerly expecting the release of the new season - however, the "Game of Thrones" season 5 leaked episodes spoiled the whole thing for millions of fans around the world.
Over the past few months before the "Game of Thrones" season 5 leak, Food World News has reported all kinds of updates regarding the popular fantasy series, like how HBO created a "GoT" themed restaurant in London and how creators announced the new season would be premiering on IMAX in the US, as well as saying they'd have to spoil the coming books before author Martin published them - and even a Sesame Street parody.
Other related news to the "Game of Thrones" season 5 leak have included gossip about the cast, such as Lena Hadey's pregnancy (she plays Queen Mother Cersei Lannister), Kit Harington's haircut and how he might be dating one of his co-stars (either Rose Leslie or Emilia Clarke) to even Hafthor Bjornsson's achievement, as the actor who played The Mountain Clegane in the fourth season of the show broke a Viking record over 1,000 years old recently.
Now, it's the "Game of Thrones" season 5 leak making news; according to Torrent Freak, the first four episodes of the new season somehow leaked online last weekend, right before the show premiered.
The "Game of Thrones" season 5 leaked episodes are called "The Wars to Come," "The House of Black and White," "High Sparrow" and "The Sons of the Harpy" respectively, and they first appeared online in the early hours of Sunday, first spotted in the IPT private torrent tracker.
BBC reports that "Game of Thrones" has been the most pirated show online for the past three years, including its last three seasons and the time when the fifth season's trailer was leaked before its intended premiere date.
HBO later confirmed that the "Game of Thrones" season 5 leaked episodes were the real ones, though there's still no word on how this happened - apparently, these four had been sent out to television critics around the country to be surveyed.
