'Supergirl' Spoilers, News: Pilot Episode Leaked Six Months Before Premiere

The very much talked about 'Supergirl' series has just experienced it first leak months before the show's dated premiere.

The pilot episode has leaked onto piracy sites and is available in high quality. The leak is suspected to have occurred early on Friday.

"The episode is available in up to 1080p HD format and does not contain any evident watermarks, according to piracy-tracking firm Excipio. The first copies appeared shortly before 3 a.m. ET Friday, according to the firm. As of about 9:30 a.m. ET, the 'Supergirl' pilot had been downloaded more than 120,000 times worldwide, per Excipio. [Update, 12:30 p.m. ET: Downloads have hit 192,000, with the U.S., the U.K. and Australia the most-active countries for pirates.,]" writes Variety.

'Supergirl' set to premiere on CBS in November and air for the 2015-2016 season. The series starring Melissa Benoist was set to anchor CBS's Monday night lineup.

The trailer for the series, while controversial, has already been viewed over 11 million times since its release on May 13.

Leaks for anticipated television shows have been becoming more prevalent in the recent year. This however isn't suspected to deter the success come its premiere.

"It's relatively rare for a pilot for a new TV show to leak out onto piracy sites - especially a full six months in advance of the premiere date. On the one hand, the early leak of 'Supergirl' could put a damper on initial ratings. However, it could also serve to drive audience to the show and build buzz leading up to the fall season. TV networks have released pilots in advance of show debuts as a marketing tool but never this far in advance," writes Variety.

As it stands, CBS has since declined to comment.
