Netflix has come under fire after a promised cult TV hit didn’t arrive on time. American comedy Detroiters was announced to debut on October 15, but the streaming giant removed it from the schedule without explanation.
In September, Netflix announced in a tweet that the show would be coming to the streamer in October.
‘This is an official advertisement from Cramblin Quilt Advertising! Detroiters seasons 1 and 2 are coming to Netflix on October 15!’ Netflix’s tweet said.
When the show didn’t appear on the streaming service, fans were left furious.
“The show was supposed to debut today on Netflix,” one Reddit user said Wednesday.
“It never appeared and Netflix removed its social media posts promoting the show,” they continued.
Another Reddit user claimed that the streamer was “misleading” fans.
“I sent a direct message to a Netflix customer service representative yesterday and they tried to clarify that Netflix never announced that it would be coming to their platform in the US on October 15.”

They continued: “They tried to say that the ad and tweet I saw were for countries (outside of) the US.”
Fans of the show also took to Twitter to complain.
“I never really tweet, but now I’m (here) to say that Netflix and Netflix Australia are (a joke) and horrible for not streaming to Detroiters like they said they were going to do.” one angry user tweeted.
Created by stars Sam Richardson and Tim Robinson, along with Zach Kanin and Joe Kelly, Detroiters ran for two seasons and 20 episodes between 2017 and 2018.
‘Where. It’s Detroiters. on Netflix? You lied!’ groaned another disappointed fan.

Meanwhile, Tim Robinson has had another hit with the sketch series I Think You Should Leave, which is currently screening on Netflix Australia.
