On Friday, The Dark Overlord took to Twitter and claimed that they had stolen the upcoming fifth season the show and would release it unless the streaming company paid them an unspecified ransom, Vanity Fair reports. Since then, the hacker group has updated their message and gone ahead and leaked episodes 1-10 of the season due to Netflix being "unresponsive." They note that the season includes 13 episodes, and claim that they had acquired the copies so early episodes 11-13 weren't even uploaded yet. The new season is scheduled to be officially released on June 9.

Though Netflix has yet to confirm the validity of the leaked episodes, the company acknowledged that a small vendor site affiliated with their company had been breached, and said the situation was an FBI "active investigation," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
