HBO outrages fans of The Gilded Age by broadcasting latest episode of costume drama with glaring error
Ay, caramba!
An apparent glitch during an episode of the popular HBO Max costume drama The Gilded Age left viewers watching the show completely in Spanish.
Fans of the hit series, which is set in 1880s New York City, tuned in on Sunday night to find the episode dubbed over - much to their confusion.
'Why is it only in Spanish when I try to watch? I checked settings, and the other episodes are in English. This is maddening!!!' one viewer wrote on Facebook in reply to an HBO Max post promoting the episode.
'The Gilded Age is currently only playing in Spanish on my app and I cannot follow what is happening to Señora Russell. Help! Ayuda!' another joked on X.
'Why is it only playing in Spanish? All of my settings are English. I only speak English,' a third added.
The error bizarrely seemed to affect viewers who had English selected as their primary language.
Users reported that changing their language settings to 'Spanish Latin America' resulted in getting the episode in English.
'For those having trouble with the episode coming up in Spanish[,] pause the episode and change the language to Spanish,' one user wrote in Facebook's 'HBO The Gilded Age Fan Page'.
'The languages swapped for some reason.'
HBO Max did not appear to comment on the flood of online comments regarding the mix-up.
The Daily Mail has reached out to HBO for comment.
