Mad Men episode leaked

The latest episode of Mad Men has been released on iTunes ahead of its US broadcast.

Fairfax media reports subscribers to the show on iTunes were contacted on Sunday morning with a message saying that a new episode was available for download.

The email referred to an episode of behind-the-scenes out-takes from episode 5, titled ‘‘The Flood’’, but the latest episode ‘‘For Immediate Release’’ was able to be downloaded approximately 30 hours before its scheduled US release time. The episode was not available on the show’s main page, but could be accessed by updating the available downloads page on a user’s account.

In 2009, the third episode in the series was released nearly two weeks before it aired.
