‘House of the Dragon’ is the most-pirated TV show released on torrent sites in 2024. The popular ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel replaces ‘The Last of Us’, which topped the chart last year, according to Torrent Freak

Amazon’s ‘The Boys‘ takes the second spot at a respectable distance, while Disney’s ‘Shōgun’ is the hottest newcomer. For several years in a row, the list was headed by ‘Game of Thrones’, but that reign came to an end after the final season.

In the years that followed, Disney+ releases stepped in to fill the void, with ‘Wandavision’ and ‘The Mandalorian’ taking wins in 2020 and 2021, respectively. This takeover didn’t last very long, however, as HBO Max’s ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel ‘House of the Dragon’ snatched the title in 2022, the TF report said.

Interestingly, all other entries in the top 10, including Netflix’s massively popular animated series ‘Arcane’, come from major streaming platforms. This marks a shift from last year when no Netflix shows had made the list.
