Misplaced "announced" title on the Pro site
This problem pertains only to IMDbPro. (The data is apparently displaying correctly on the free site.)
From the discussion at https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/credit-additions-are-not-working/62a7984171951105f1776ab3 , I learned that there is a forthcoming TV series titled "Going Legit" (????) which is currently shown as being in "announced" status.
As this is a forthcoming series, I would think that it would be listed on IMDbPro in the "Television in Production" or perhaps "Projects in Development" section of the filmographies of its cast and crew. (I'm not sure which of those two applies.)
However, if you look at the IMDbPro filmographies of any of its cast and crew, such as actor Grant Harvey or director/producer Natalie Sutherland, you will find "Going Legit" listed at the bottom of their "Past Television" sections, as though it were the oldest television title of their careers, instead of the newest.
Why is a TV show which has not even been filmed yet being classified as "Past Television"?

@gromit82 This specific case has been fixed now, thanks. The problem occurs if there’s a TV-series which is in-production/in-development without a confirmed release date so there’s no year-of-release in the title AND none of the attached episodes has a production status. The fix here was to add a production status to https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt15786080/
We will remind the team of the bug. It is quite rare in practice and it can easily be fixed by addressing what is technically a hole in the data coverage (this does not mean the bug should not be fixed, of course, but it does make it harder to prioritise).
