The leak of Arcane Season 2 was only the initial incident – episodes of an additional Netflix series that has yet to be released have now surfaced on the internet.
Last week, Netflix experienced a major security breach, which was one of the largest in streaming history. The breach initially targeted anime projects such as Terminator Zero, Dandadan, and Mappa’s reboot of Ranma 1/2.
Arcane Season 2 and Heartstopper Season 3 continued to generate buzz as full episodes from both shows were leaked online. Jace Johnson, one of the culprits, has also claimed that there will be significant leaks for Stranger Things Season 5 and Sonic 3 in the near future.
Johnson has recently revealed his latest project: Jentry Chau vs the Underworld, an animated series on Netflix featuring Ali Wong, set to be released later this year. Similar to his previous leaks, the episodes are still a work in progress and contain hardcoded timestamps and a “Property of Netflix”watermark.
A recent number of high profile shows have seemingly leaked – one among them is Jentry Chau vs The Underworld. Please do not watch our shows like this – I know you are excited – but please wait for them to be released in their intended format. This only harms the projects

Kal Athannassov, the character design supervisor for the series, urged viewers to disregard the leaks and instead anticipate its official release. In a post on Twitter, he pointed out that several popular shows, including Jentry Chau vs The Underworld, have recently been leaked.
“While I understand your excitement, please refrain from watching our shows in this manner. It is important to wait for their intended release format, as this can be harmful to the projects.”
Despite the possibility of leaks, it is highly improbable that Jentry Chau or any other upcoming projects on Netflix will experience delays. For instance, Riot Games has reassured fans that Arcane Season 2 will still be released in November 2024. However, these leaks could potentially have a negative impact, as illegal views could lower the show’s Netflix viewership numbers and decrease the likelihood of a renewal for another season.
Despite the leaks, Netflix has been direct in its response. According to a spokesperson’s statement to The Wrap, one of their post-production partners was hacked, resulting in the unfortunate leak of footage from multiple titles.
“Our team is actively working to remove it.”
Crunchyroll has additionally stated that they are conducting an inquiry to uncover the origin of the leak and are actively working to have it removed.
