Reported Problem for Season 2
posted by helenjohannahSTAFFMOD on March 27, 2019 at 4:52 PM
Item: Season 2
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: these episodes are not labeled correctly. even though it is a reboot when you search them, the new season shows up as season 17, not season 2, so when trying to stream content it doesnt grab correctly...most of the links go back to original season and 2, not the reboot season 16 and 17. i tried adding seasons, but couldnt edit the air date

Hi! Our data is good. So if you have issues with a third-party app, I would suggest contacting them.

I have tried 4 third party apps, all with the same results. If you Google American idol it shows current season as season 17, not season 2...all the apps I've tried show old episodes of you click the new season "2" there are multiple threads online about this issue, that's how I ended up here. A moderator suggested editing tmdb to correct it. Thanks anyway

We follow the season and episode numbering from the network. In this case, ABC has decided to start the "reboot" of American Idol at season 1. So it's a second show, with a new season lineup starting with season 1.
