All Game of Thrones fans will be wishing they lived in Spain, after HBO Spain accidentally broadcast next week’s episode.

Episode 6 of season 7 of the show was apparently available to watch on demand for Spanish subscribers for an hour before getting taken down. However that was long enough for the 70 minute episode to be ripped and start to be shared online.

This isn’t the first time this has happened to HBO. Episode 5 of this series, titled ‘The Door’, was made available by HBO Nordic a day early. While episode 4 of the season 7 ‘The Spoils of War’ leaked early online too, but this time it was the work of India hacker’s and not HBO’s blunder. Police have since arrested four individuals in relation with the leak.
