Netflix subscribers are fuming after the streaming giant failed to release its highly anticipated three-part documentary, American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden, on the promised date of March 10. The docuseries, which was expected to give an inside look into the operation that led to Bin Laden’s assassination, was set to explore his role in the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent manhunt.
However, fans were left in the dark when the release date came and went without any sign of the documentary, with no explanation from Netflix. As frustration mounts, many users have voiced their anger on social media. Some even went so far as to cancel their subscriptions, vowing never to trust Netflix again after the delay.
One Twitter user summed up the frustration: “So Netflix just doesn’t release American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden and doesn’t give a single reason why? That’s super lame.” Another took to the platform, saying, “I have canceled my Netflix subscription. This is the last time Netflix lies about releasing a show for me.”
Despite the growing backlash, Netflix has remained silent on the cause of the delay, only providing a vague response to one user’s inquiry, stating that there was “not an immediate fix” for the issue. This has done little to ease the anger of fans, who feel they were misled.
This latest debacle comes at a time when Netflix has also increased its subscription prices, with the Premium plan now costing £18.99, up from £17.99. Many subscribers are feeling the pinch, and this delay has only added to their frustration.
American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden was set to dive into the controversial hunt for the al-Qaeda leader and his eventual death, following the 2001 terrorist attacks. With no new release date provided, viewers are left questioning Netflix’s reliability.
