Popular Netflix shows leaked in security breach. Company 'aggressively taking action'

As a seasoned movie buff with decades spent navigating the unpredictable waters of Hollywood and its digital counterparts, I must say that this latest security breach at Netflix has left me more than a little disheartened. It’s like opening the door to your cozy home only to find an unwelcome guest rummaging through your prized collections.


It was discovered that a data leak occurred at one of Netflix’s content production partners, resulting in unauthorized release of upcoming episodes from well-known shows on the internet this week.

It was revealed on Friday that one of our post-production collaborators experienced a breach, leading to the unauthorized release of some footage from various series we produce. We are actively working to remove this content from online platforms.

Netflix chose not to provide information about which shows were involved, but tech publication IGN reported on Thursday that the leaked content included Season 2 episodes of the animated series “Arcane,” inspired by the universe of the widely-played game “League of Legends.” The second season is scheduled for release on Netflix in November.

The third season of the widely acclaimed coming-of-age show “Heartstopper,” set to premiere on October 3rd, has apparently been leaked before its official release, as reported by What’s on Netflix.

In a released statement, Iyuno, a Burbank-based postproduction company specializing in dubbing and subtitling, acknowledged a recent incident where sensitive information might have been accessed.

“Maintaining privacy for our clients and safeguarding their data is our top concern, emphasized Iyuno. Currently, we’re vigilantly working on discovering the cause of this security issue to minimize any potential threats and uncover those responsible. Any significant updates or new information will be communicated accordingly.”

Unauthorized leaks of upcoming TV series cause annoyance for both production companies and those involved in their creation. These illegally distributed episodes often diminish the viewership on streaming platforms, particularly when they are released ahead of schedule.

Crunchyroll, a streaming service for anime owned by Sony, experienced a leak of the upcoming “Re:ZERO” Season 3, slated for release in October, as reported by IGN.

“Crunchyroll acknowledged a premature release of content related to one of their upcoming fall series. They’ve initiated an investigation to trace the origin of this leak and are working diligently to remove it from circulation.”
