Please see one of the many previous reports about this, specifically this one.

The first 3 episodes of season 3 are now up and it's still Thursday, June 2.

And you're STILL wrong. Your metadata has been PROVEN to be wrong about Amazon shows 1000x by now and you guys are so arrogant you refuse to fix it.

The episodes were released on the night of June 2, 2022 on Prime Video and we have June 2, 2022 as the airdate on TMDB. There is nothing wrong.

I am sorry to contradict you but here is the capture from my Amazon Prime Account:

https://prnt.sc/K-QwEXiypcqC

it clearly shows that it was released on June 3, in the region US.

they might have been released on West Coast time at 00:00 and you're further east, which could explain why "it's still june 2". But please consider the fact that we've all seen the evidence and that the episodes have actually been released 24 hours after the stated date and since you were the moderator locking the dates of all the episodes, would you please consider the fact that you _might be wrong and correct the remaining dates accordingly ?

Even IMDB (who is, need I remind you owned by Amazon) List the episodes as having been released on June 3, as does TVDB (yuck) .. And in this instance they are right

Imdb listing : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190634/episodes?season=3 Imdb listing capture : https://prnt.sc/-CPQ8X_GIL5h

TVDB listing : https://thetvdb.com/series/the-boys/seasons/official/3

TVDB listing capture https://prnt.sc/iYIqxoupFIoz

And yes there are multiple reports of this error, and the moderators have all shut them down with the same argument, only the argument is built on inaccurate data. If the source of the episodes, and two other independent sources show your data to be wrong it is time to correct your data, not argue and shut down

So the problem is the TMDB moderators are compensating for the US time zone getting episodes the day before. However, the apps that use TMDB for tv info already make that compensation. The result is that double compensation is showing episodes airing 2 days earlier on these apps. I've included a screenshot of my SeriesGuide illustrating this example.

I realize that TMDB cannot control what the apps are doing. However since the apps are already adjusting for time zone, TMDB doesn't need to. If TMDB had posted the proper published June 3rd date here, the apps would properly show June 2nd. So again, please change your Amazon shows to the advertised release date and let the apps take care of the rest.

The problem is there. These applications do something they should not do.

All our dates, not only the ones from Amazon Prime, are based on the local date in the country of origin of the series.

There seems to be some sort of problem over at Amazon since last night. The episode does not show up on the website or the mobile app but it does show up on my Fire TV Stick. It has June 9, 2022 as the airdate and I'm able to watch it.

On Twitter, some people are complaining about episode 4 still not being available while others have been able to watch the episode since about 8pm EDT last night:
