Why Netflix drop times can feel “late” (or “early”)
Netflix Originals usually launch at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time. That’s great for consistency, but it means:
- On the U.S. East Coast, you’re typically waiting until 3:00 a.m. ET.
- In Europe, it’s a morning drop.
- In parts of Asia and Australia, it lands in the afternoon or evening.
If it’s past release time and you still don’t see it
- Refresh Netflix (or fully close and re-open the app).
- Try switching profiles (then switch back).
- Search by the exact title: People We Meet on Vacation.
- Wait a few minutes—rollouts can lag for some devices.
