Love is Blind, a Netflix series, had its live reunion for the Season 4 reunion special interrupted and subsequently delayed on its own platform, forcing viewers to wait more than an hour for the show.

Ten minutes before the show’s scheduled start, a large number of subscribers arrived in the waiting area, and when they attempted to tune in to the live broadcast, they were met with error messages. Later, Netflix apologized to the fans via Twitter.

The reunion show, hosted by Vanessa and Nick Lachey, was set to start at 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, but many viewers who attempted to access the live stream were instead led to a notice that said, “Pardon the interruption. We’re having trouble playing Netflix. Please check your internet and try again.”

At 9:16 p.m., the show finally began to air. Netflix tweeted, “Love is… late #LoveIsBlindLIVE will be on in 15 minutes!” When it still left many fans waiting, the official handle further tweeted, “Promise #LoveIsBlindLIVE will be worth the wait…” which was shared with a picture of cast member Irina” along with a picture of cast member Irina Solomonova.

Technical issues were to blame for the delay, host Vanessa Lachey stated in a live broadcast from behind the scenes with co-anchor Nick Lachey saying, “Apparently we broke the internet. Thank you guys so much for tuning in and being patient! We’re here and ready!”

Netflix immediately issued an apology on Twitter, writing, “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 sorry.”

Following that, Netflix tweeted a cast photo along with the following caption: “Love Is Blind: The Reunion will be available globally at 12pm PT on April 17. Promise.”
