The report was later also confirmed by Netflix, which said that the launch of the Love is Blind Live Reunion was not going as planned due to this issue.

"To everyone who stayed up late, got up early, gave up on their Sunday afternoon... we are very sorry that the Love is Blind Live Reunion didn't go the way we planned," Netflix said in a tweet on Twitter.

However, Netflix revealed that it is now fixing the issue and will broadcast the title on Netflix as soon as possible. "Once again, thank you and sorry." the company concluded.
