I just found this thread too. Something is up for sure. Used to be it was like 99% on getting the right title and poster and now my posters are all in different languages. I thought it was something I was doing wrong but i am relieved to see it affecting the community as well.
Iâm also having this issue. Whatâs weird is it doesnât even give me the option to change to an English poster. One example is Neighbors 2 (although its happening on others too). I can go to TMDB and see there is an English poster up there for it, but plex defaults to Spanish and if I click to change it I donât even see the English poster as an option.

English poster has only been added yesterday. Might still need a moment to be made available via the APIs (up to 1 day if I remember correctly)

Yep same issue, iâd same maybe 1-2% of my movies are giving foreign posters, CWACOM2 being one of them and yes foreign poster on the site
Just uploaded the one I found, will clear out my library and see if it turns up.
You are correct. Neighbors 2 updated correctly on Plex today.
I can tell ya - Zoolander 2âs Yiddish Poster - doesnât look anything like Zoolander 2, but is hilarious. I canât decide if it was the bug that selected it, or by design, but I like it. Went and found one for ZoolanderâŠ
Noticed this issue as well, and couldnât find anything on TMDBâs support forum about it. So when I submitted a topic with some use cases and information, it was immediately locked and hidden with no explanation.
Suspecting that is was an auto-mod removal due to mentioning the radarr application (where the issue is also occurring), I removed those references and resubmitted the following day, but it was immediately locked and hidden as well by mods.
No explanation was given, so I have no idea why it was removed or unaddressed.
EDIT: A couple days later tmdbâs founder circle back to the hidden post with a reply. Apparently this is a known issue caused by their ongoing maintenance project. He declined to give specifics of the project, but my takeaways were:
- It should not affect any film titles âmoving forwardâ during the maintenance (so any 2020+ films, I assume)
- While the maintenance is still ongoing, we should still expect to see the issue on older titles
- Once the maintenance is complete, correct posters should be available for all titles

Just chiming in with my two cents. I have the exact same issue. I recently did a fresh install because suddenly TV shows in mkv format wouldnât recognise external subtitles. The fresh install fixed that problem, but yeah, I am now dealing with pretty much nothing but foreign posters for my movies. Have tried everything. Out of the ashes and into the fire, I guess.
Iâm in the same boat as of April 22, 2020 after building a new Plex server. Fingers crossed itâs fixed soon.
Same problem. Following
I can say confidently now that ALL new movie posters are foreign. Whatâs going on?
Read the link posted right before your own post. Thatâll answer your question â reading makes happy
Why is this bug still present? I tested the TMDB API by myself and it answers with the correct poster, but my database is still wrong although I deleted the complete metadata folder to force plex to re-download the covers:
Is this maybe a caching issue on the plex api servers?
As you can see its the most recent poster. Nothing really related to the language:
The images API answers with the correct posters as well. Either you request all of them:
Or you use the language filters to request only the Plex servers default language plus a fallback language (the main server language + english + the main language of the movie). By that it does not even return the spanish cover art:
