Netflix had some serious issues with the livestream of its “Love is Blind” reunion episode. We always knew the livestream would be messy, as reality show reunions always are — but after a 75 minute delay, Netflix pulled the plug on the live show.
“We are sorry we’re late. We are no longer live, but we are now finally here!” Lachey said when the show finally aired.
Netflix addressed the debacle on its Twitter.
“We are incredibly sorry that the Love is Blind Live Reunion did not turn out as we had planned. We’re filming it now and we’ll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible,” the streamer said.
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. We're filming it now and we'll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible. Again, thank you and…

Per Down Detector, more than 10,000 users reported errors accessing Netflix around 8 PM ET, the time that the reunion was slated to air. Netflix did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but the livestream itself displayed an error message, declaring: “There’s an issue with the livestream. Hang tight! We’re trying to fix it as soon as possible.”
At first, Netflix tweeted to tell users that the stream would be delayed fifteen minutes. But the issues were not resolved that fast.
