Netflix is intensifying efforts to track down the individual responsible for leaking spoilers of its highly anticipated series Arcane Season 2 and Squid Game Season 2. The leaks, which appeared online in recent weeks, have prompted the streaming giant to file a legal request with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, targeting popular social platforms for user information, according to a report by Games Radar.

Subpoena filed against Discord

Netflix has specifically requested a subpoena requiring Discord to reveal the identity of the user who allegedly leaked the spoilers. The individual, operating under the now-suspended X (formerly Twitter) handle @jacejohns4n, is believed to have shared unauthorized images and information regarding Netflix’s shows.

The subpoena seeks detailed user information, including names, addresses, IP addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses linked to the Discord account associated with the leak. As per Games Radar, the leaked content first surfaced around November 12, 2024.

Discord, known for its customized servers and private chatrooms, is widely used by gamers and enthusiasts, making it a frequent platform for leaks and niche content sharing.

Netflix anime and content leaks linked to the same user

The same user is reportedly connected to earlier leaks involving Netflix’s anime content. In August 2023, full episodes of Ranma 1/2 and Dandadan appeared online before their official release dates.

In September 2024, a now-suspended account on X, believed to be linked to the leaker, openly admitted to leaking major Netflix projects.

In an interview shared on the platform, the user, who identified themselves as “Jace Fohr Johnson” (an alias), claimed responsibility for leaking a string of high-profile shows and movies, including Heartstopper Season 3, The Plankton Movie, Terminator Zero, and Spellbound. “My name is Jace Fohr Johnson. Of course, this isn’t my real name. I was responsible for the worst leak in streaming history,” the user declared in the post.

The self-proclaimed leaker also revealed their connection to a dubbing studio employee, alleging that the leaks originated from a friend working at Iyuno, a dubbing company.

“I like to be known… and I’ll continue to leak more movies/shows. I know what I’m doing. I have a plan. This is all in the planning phase, and we’re in Phase 1. Phase 2 is coming,” the user wrote, suggesting more leaks could be forthcoming.

A battle against spoilers

Netflix’s move to secure the subpoena underscores the company’s commitment to protecting its intellectual property amid growing concerns over unauthorized leaks. The legal action reflects broader industry efforts to combat spoiler culture, which not only undermines the audience experience but also affects the profitability of high-budget productions.

For now, it remains to be seen whether the streaming giant will succeed in identifying the leaker and curbing further leaks. The case highlights the challenges entertainment platforms face in safeguarding content in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
