The latest episode of Game of Thrones was uploaded to Amazon early due to an “error”, the company has said.
The second instalment of the eighth and final series was not supposed to be broadcast until Sunday evening.
But some Amazon Prime members were able to watch it several hours before that.
“We regret that for a short time Amazon customers in Germany were able to access episode two of season eight of Game of Thrones,” an Amazon spokesman said.
“This was an error and has been rectified.”
It may have been taken down soon after it was uploaded, but it was long enough for many fans to view the whole episode.

As a result, screengrabs and plot details started appearing online before the official broadcast – which led to fans worrying about accidentally coming across spoilers (which we obviously won’t post here).
However, plenty of people had some fun with the leak.
US singer Mariah Carey suggested that she was about to post some “major Game of Thrones spoilers” on Twitter… before going on to upload a picture of herself on the Iron Throne.
