NETFLIX JUST PULLED a Beyonce and released House of Cards to users a whole two weeks early–only to pull it down again in 20 minutes.

Season 3 of the hit show is scheduled to be released on February 27th, but Netflix users in the States noticed the first 10 out of 13 episodes had been uploaded to the streaming service this evening.

Fans were RABID.

The timing was all off

NOT SO FAST

Netflix took down the episodes almost as unexpectedly as they went up, so presumably it wasn’t a Beyonce stunt, but a genuine mistake.

Whoops!
