Netflix has stated that it is aggressively taking action following the Arcane Season 2 leak.
This week, videos and pictures from shows like Spellbound, Terminator Zero, Dandadan, Mononoke the Movie: Phantom in the Rain, and Arcane Season 2 were shared on Twitter and 4Chan before spreading to other online platforms. The leaked content included screenshots, clips, and even full seasons, marking one of Netflix’s most significant breaches to date.
Netflix Statement on Arcane Season 2 Leak
A statement from Netflix to The Wrap acknowledged the compromise of a post-production partner that led to the leak of Arcane Season 2 and reassured that their team is vigorously working to have it removed.
Reacting to the leak, animator Kass Chapa expressed frustration on Twitter, emphasizing the hard work that goes into creating content and the disrespect of premature releases.
This is our hard work.
It is meant to be released on its due date, something we, as animators, really look forward to.It is incredibly disrespectful and just straight up annoying. You think you are doing some kind of service to the community but you are not. https://t.co/UX0lCrZbuZ
