Does IMDB accept future dated shows

Hi there - I keep trying to add episodes to a season that will air next week, the week after etc. however they keep getting rejected by IMDB. Is this because they are future dated - is this not allowed?

Hi @KateMag2022,

IMDb does accept episodes that are yet to air. This may be that you have not provided enough evidence for our processing team to approve the submission. Our guidelines for adding a new title lists more information on how to provide suitable evidence. However, please can you provide us with the 18-digit submission reference for these submissions so we may look into this for you?

Thanks!

@Ozzy​ Thanks so much Ozzy! Episode 1 was accepted and I used the same info for Episode 2 - 6 so confused on what else to do. I wanted to add all the episodes first and then start adding crew as they differ per episode. 230906-124453-429000 - Episode 2. 230905-125950-685000 - Episode 3. 230905-130238-176000 - Episode 4. 230905-130522-964000 - Episode 5.  230905-131102-233000 - Episode 6.

Hi @KateMag2022,

No problem. It appears the above submissions were declined due to a processing error. I have resubmitted the episodes on your behalf and they have now been approved.

I hope this helps!

@Ozzy​ Hi Ozzy - thank you! I still don't see episode 2 - 6 when I click on the main page of the TV show and select episodes. It says that there is now 12 episodes which is right but when I hit Season 2 it isn't showing me episode 2 - 6. Is there a reason why or does it just need time to process?

Thanks!

@Ozzy​ Episodes 2-6 popped up for me there briefly but have now disappeared! I'm assuming I will just wait it out a bit. I'll let you know if I have any issues later today. Thanks so much for all your help!

@Ozzy Just adding in a screenshot one after another that I just took. It shows all the episodes and then episode 2 - 6 disappear after I refresh. Is this normal?

Hi @KateMag2022,

Yes, additions to the site will often take some time to appear/update. I can see that the episodes are all showing now, are you able to replicate that on your end?
