Netflix has apologised after a much-publicised livestream of its hit dating show was delayed due to a glitch.
The Love is Blind reunion will instead air later on Monday in a pre-recorded broadcast.
Fans of the show, which involves couples getting engaged before they see each other, vented their frustrations on social media.
The technical reason for the delay was unclear but the streaming giant said it was “incredibly sorry”.
The reunion special will be broadcast at 18:00 BST (13:00 ET) on Monday.
While some viewers in the US were able to watch the stream about 75 minutes after its scheduled start time, most were met with a screen reading “there’s an issue with the livestream”.
Netflix announced delays as time progressed and by 02:30 BST – 90 minutes after it was due to begin – the streaming giant apologised and told fans it was filming the episode instead.
“To everyone who stayed up late, woke up early, gave up their Sunday afternoon… we are incredibly sorry that the Love is Blind Live Reunion did not turn out as we had planned,” Netflix tweeted in a statement.
“We’re filming it now and we’ll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible. Again, thank you and sorry.”
Netflix did not give a reason for cancelling the livestream, but show host Vanessa Lachey indicated it was a technical error in a live video on Instagram, captioned: “Apparently we broke the internet.”
