House of the Dragon season 2 finale has partly leaked online, and major spoilers are everywhere (2024)

FAQs

Who leaked the last episode of House of the Dragon? ›

The clips, which appeared on TikTok, Twitter, and Reddit, were posted due to an unintended release by an international third-party distributor. HBO is actively working to remove the leaked content and has advised fans to avoid spoilers on social media.

Fans should be cautious, as House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 8 has faced a significant leak. Clips from the episode, apparently recorded from a screen, were shared on TikTok earlier this week, revealing key moments from the finale.

Prince Daemon marries Rhaenyra following the death of his second wife, Laena Velaryon, and they have three children. When he is riding his dragon during the Battle Above Gods Eye, he leaps from his dragon to kill Aemond, one of Alicent's sons with Viserys. Daemon's body is never found.

Lucerys is killed in the Season One finale. This is largely considered the inciting moment of the civil war. Lucerys had just traveled with his dragon, Arrax, to Storm's End to see if the Baratheon family will pledge allegiance to Rhaenyra.

In the end, Rhaenyra's youngest son, Aegon III, ascends to the Iron Throne. He marries Jaehaera—Aegon II and Halaena's daughter—binding the family back together and ending the war. Much occurs in between, but we should leave at least a little room for surprise as the series continues.

House of the Dragon airs its finale for Season 2 this Sunday, August 4 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max. Set over 200 years before the start of Game of Thrones (2011) and based on the hit books by George R.R. Martin, House of the Dragon explores the civil war of House Targaryen.

In the books. In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Rhaella is the wife and sister of Aerys II and the mother of Rhaegar, Viserys, and Daenerys.

Courtesy of Warner Bros. Yes, there will be a Season 3 of House of the Dragon on HBO and Max. HBO renewed the series for a third season a few days before the second season premiered in mid-June.

Helaena Targaryen, Aegon II's sister, ended up being the queen and his wife, which breaks the promises made between Rhaenyra and Alicent. In Season 1 they were both promised to someone else, but it seems that they have ended up together with a son and daughter.

Daemon Dies in Battle with Aemond

Sorry to spoil two deaths for the price of one, but the fight between Daemon and Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) is one for the books. As you may recall, Daemon had it out for his nephew after Aemond murdered Lucerys in the season 1 finale.

Why did Daemon wake up Vermithor? ›

In an effort to find more dragons to gain advantage over the Greens and their dragons, Daemon Targaryen visits Vermithor in his lair, singing the dragonsong "Hāros Bartossi" to get his attention. Vermithor blasts fire above him, but he calms as he and Daemon stare into each other's eyes.

Aegon II: Killed by a poisoned wine goblet. The person who poisoned him is unclear, but Cregan Stark, serving as Hand, had twenty-two men arrested for their involvement. Most notable were Corlys Velaryon (pardoned), Ser Gyles Belgrave of the Kingsguard (executed), and Larys “Clubfoot” Strong (executed).

"Rhaenyra Targaryen was murdered by her brother, or rather, his dragon," Joffrey recalls. "It ate her while her son watched. What's left of her is buried in the crypts right down there."

Vermithor. Known as the Bronze Fury, the second-largest known living dragon (after Vhagar) takes a new rider in the dragonseed Hugh Hammer.

Daemon Targaryen sang in High Valyrian to the dragon Vermithor in House of the Dragon's season 1 finale and, after further references in season 2, the creature will be very important in the future.

But there's also now an option to watch the film at home. As of November 25, 2024, "House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 8 Finale" is available on HBO Max. Only those with a subscription to the service can watch the movie.
