Game of Thrones season 8 episode 6 details 'leak' online

A detailed description of the final episode of Game of Thrones has reportedly leaked online. 

While no clips from the season eight’s sixth episode have appeared online, the text description has been widely circulated on Reddit and social media.

The spoilers initially appeared before the penultimate episode was broadcast. With the leak accurately describing the events of episode five, many fans have taken the details regarding the finale to also be accurate. 

Deadline reports that moderators on Reddit attempted to remove the spoilers, but the text was already widely copied and circulate before they were able to. 

Season eight of Game of Thrones has suffered from several major leaks. Episodes one and two leaked hours before airing, while stills from episode three and clips from episode four appeared hours before the scheduled broadcast. 

The season has been met with mixed reviews from critics, with over a million disgruntled fans signing a petition asking HBO to remake the season. 

The Independent‘s critic described the penultimate episode – titled “The Bells” – as being “out-of-tune” and criticised the episode’s writing, asking: “What is the logic here?”

Meanwhile, Varys actor Conleth Hill called his character’s demise “frustrating” and that the “last couple seasons weren’t my favourite”. Lena Headey has also spoken cautiously about her character’s death, revealing the reason why she initially felt “mixed” about the scene.
