The fifth season of Game of Thrones has leaked online, one day before the HBO drama's TV return.
The first four episodes of the new run appeared on Saturday (April 11) after they were uploaded to a number of Torrent websites, according to Mashable.
The leaks seemingly originate from a screener sent to reviewers ahead of the fifth season's launch, as a blurred digital watermark is visible.
Last year, Game of Thrones was named the most illegally downloaded television programme in the world for a third consecutive year.
George RR Martin, who wrote the fantasy novels which the show is based on, recently revealed that he has no veto power over which characters die on TV.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO on April 12 at 9pm ET as part of a global simulcast. Sky Atlantic will air the premiere in the UK on April 13 at 9pm.
