Title (series) stuck as "Upcoming" (without a poster) instead of "Previous" for no reason
Hello,
Please, help, I've been trying to figure out what I did wrong and how to fix it for 12+ hours, this is so frustrating. The series I added a day ago (to my surprise, everything was approved just an hour after submission) is still showing under "Upcoming" without a poster instead of "Previous" (when on an actor's page). And the show's/title's page also looks as if it hasn't been released yet even though all 15 episodes of season 1 have been streaming for months and have been aiding during regular broadcast in several countries since May (added 7 eps. already, postponed adding the remaining 8 because of this issue). On top of that, every single episode automatically gets "Release Date Unknown" as 1 of the items being added and approved.
The series was submitted and approved as "Released" with the release date (of the first ep.) and 15 additional release dates "17 August 2022". I've added every episode with a release date (17 August 2022, 31 August 2022, 14 September 2022...). For the 7th episode, I even tried submitting an additional release date for 1 country along with the "Original Air Date" in the "main form" hoping that might fix it. But nope, "Release Date Unknown" was added and approved there as well, which is absolutely baffling and looks like a terrible joke when the actual release date is right there, twice, also approved.
Please, before I go insane, how do I fix this? Thank you.

@StopYouDogs It turns out that this was a timing issue in that the updates of the release dates did not propagate across all of IMDb’s systems quickly enough. The page and the episodes are now all back in-sync.
We are following up with the appropriate team to address the underlying timing issue.
