Following intense social media backlash, streaming platform Hulu has pulled a documentary on Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival tragedy from its site.

It appears that, some time today (December 2), Hulu made the first episode in a series on the music festival available on its platform. News of the series, named Astroworld Concert from Hell, was first shared on Twitter by account of Adam22’s popular No Jumper podcast.

The description of Concert from Hell reads: “Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival was supposed to be the concert of a lifetime. But it turned into a tragic nightmare. A minute-by-minute look at what happened in the crowd, the young victims who were killed, and what happens next.”

Produced by The American Broadcasting Company (ABC), reports are that the investigative news special was first aired on November 20 and is not produced by Hulu, a Disney subsidiary.

The 50-minute episode was produced by local Houston station, ABC13/KTRK-TV.

Due to the intense backlash, Hulu, to avoid any further confusion about the origin of the piece, pulled the special from its platform.

Not knowing the background to the production of the documentary, Twitter users criticised Hulu, with some accusing the platform of creating the 50-minute special in poor taste and as families were still in the process of burying their loved ones.

@PrinceAkeen_845 said: “Astroworld victims haven’t been put in the ground yet, and the media already has a special on Hulu. We are in hell.”

He also added a green nauseous emoji.

Another commented on how quick streaming services are when producing traumatic events.

Travis Scott’s annual Astroworld Festival, which took place on November 5, left 10 dead after a crowd surge during his performance. With another 100 attendees injured, Scott and organisers of the festival have been hit with more than 100 lawsuits.

Only making a single public appearance since the ordeal, Scott has refunded all Astroworld attendees, offered to cover the funeral expenses of the victims of the tragedy and partnered with BetterHelp (a network of mental health professionals) to supply free one-on-one online therapy for those affected by the tragedy.
