Netflix may be ready to get into live sports after its "Love Is Blind" reunion livestreaming snafu. Netflix may be looking to a sports event to prove its livestreaming chops after it fumbled a recent live reunion special of the reality show "Love is Blind." The streaming company is planning a celebrity golf event as its first foray into live sports, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. But its most recent livestreaming attempt, a reunion special for its hit reality show "Love Is Blind," was a spectacular failure. The company has yet to ink any live-sports pacts, finding success instead with docuseries around sports like Formula 1, professional golf, and professional tennis.

Netflix co-CEO said a bug caused the technical glitch that hit the live "Love is Blind" reunion live special on Sunday. About 6.5 million viewers have watched the "Love Is Blind" special so far, Peters added on Tuesday. The delay of the "Love is Blind" special angered fans who hit out at the streaming service for the mishap. It added 1.75 million streaming subscribers in the January to March quarter — short of analyst estimates of 2.06 million additions, per Refinitiv. The streaming service plans to roll out its unpopular paid account sharing across households this quarter, it said in its letter to shareholders on Tuesday.
