On Wednesday, Hulu released a new documentary special — “#Astroworld: Concert From Hell,” recapping the deadly events at a Travis Scott festival in Houston last month — but quickly removed it after social media backlash. bit.ly/3oih2fb
In a statement, a Hulu spokesperson told Variety, “This was an investigative local news special from ABC13/KTRK-TV in Houston that originally aired on November 20th. This was not a Hulu documentary and has since been removed to avoid confusion.” bit.ly/3oih2fb 
In a widely circulated tweet, one commenter — who assumed the program was produced by the streamer — said, “Hulu making a documentary about Astroworld is in poor taste all around. People are still burying their loved ones." bit.ly/3oih2fb
The special's description described Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival as a "tragic nightmare," promising "A minute-by-minute look at what happened in the crowd, the young victims who were killed, and what happens next." bit.ly/3oih2fb
On Nov. 5, Astroworld turned tragic during Scott’s performance at the festival when the crowd of 50,000 people surged, resulting in a panic that left 10 people dead. bit.ly/3oih2fb
Lawsuits have been filed that name as defendants Scott, guest performer Drake, promoter Live Nation and individuals affiliated with NRG Park and Scoremore Holdings. Scott has said that during his set he did not know that concertgoers were being injured. bit.ly/3oih2fb
