December 27, 2016 by Gary Collinson

The folks at download tracking site Torrent Freak have posted their annual list of the most pirated TV shows of the year, which is once again topped by HBO’s epic fantasy series Game of Thrones.

This marks the fifth consecutive year that Game of Thrones has received the dubious honour, while AMC’s The Walking Dead once again features in second place. In fact, seven of the ten shows also featured on last year’s list, while Westworld, Lucifer and The Grand Tour have replaced Mr. Robot, Supergirl and The Blacklist.

Here’s the top ten most pirated shows, although this year there’s no estimates of the total number of downloads:

1. Game of Thrones
2. The Walking Dead
3. Westworld
4. The Flash
5. Arrow
6. The Big Bang Theory
7. Vikings
8. Lucifer
9. Suits
10. The Grand Tour
