2021 was a successful year for Disney+, with five major series from Marvel Studios being released exclusively on the streaming service. This includes “WandaVision”, “Loki”, “The Falcon And The Winter Soldier”, “What If?” and “Hawkeye”, which had millions of Disney+ subscribers around the world tuning in.
However, for those Marvel fans who don’t want to pay for a Disney+ subscription, they just pirated the shows instead. With the current streaming landscape being so fragmented, lots of people prefer to pirate instead of paying for yet another service. According to a recent article from TorrentFreak, these five shows made the top ten for the most pirated series in 2021.

TorrentFreak’s calculations are based on single episodes and the ranking is estimated based on sample data from several sources, including I Know and statistics reported by public BitTorrent trackers. “Game of Thrones” was at the top for many years until the launch of several Disney+ exclusives, which dominated the list for most pirated TV series. Last year, “The Mandalorian” was the number one favorite among the pirating public.
“WandaVision,” which was nominated for 23 Emmys overall this year, took the top spot. The series was a hit on Disney+ and on pirate sites, with each episode being downloaded millions of times. Disney’s “Loki” settled for second place, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” was placed in the fourth spot, with “Hawkeye” following in fifth place and “What If” in sixth.
Since Disney+ isn’t legally available in many countries throughout Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the only way to watch some of these shows was through piracy. These shows are also very important to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which only encourages people to watch the shows through piracy, especially since there are so many sites out there illegally streaming content.
Disney+ is available in the following regions:
- North America: United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico
- Latin America: Argentina, Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
- Asia-Pacific: Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.
- Europe: Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Greenland, France, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Finland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
Once Disney+ launches in more countries, it should become easier for more viewers to watch Marvel’s original series legally on Disney+ at an affordable rate. However, as long as streaming services continue to raise prices), piracy will continue to exist.
