Fans have been waiting to watch the season 8 premiere of HBO's hit Game of Thrones since season 7 ended in August 2017. But some lucky DirecTV Now customers were gifted an early glimpse at the premiere.

The first episode of Game of Thrones' final season briefly was available to DirecTV Now customers four hours early, at 2 p.m. PT on Sunday. The episode is now available to watch and you can read our recap here.

Numerous fans shared screengrabs and wonderment on social media.
