Hi Mikez,

I've created a new ticket for this request here. I'm not sure when I will get to it but it's a good filter to add.

Cheers.

Saw that you just added air_date filters. That's even better. Thank you and keep up the good work! :)

Hi Mikez,

Perfect, no worries!

Hi,

It is a useful filter. Can we expect it anytime soon?

I believe it is already implemented.

Firstly, are you sure that the values are from 0-5, because the API reference says that the possible values are from 1-6?

Secondly, I'm trying the following query but no matter what value I give to with_release_type, the total number of results remains the same:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=[API_KEY]®ion=US&language=en&with_original_language=en&sort_by=popularity.desc&page=1&primary_release_date.gte=2025-05-04&primary_release_date.lte=2026-05-03&with_release_type=4

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi @shahood, you can't use primary release dates and release types together. If you want to use release type, you have to switch to use plain release dates.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=[API_KEY]&region=US&language=en-US&with_original_language=en&sort_by=popularity.desc&page=1&release_date.gte=2025-05-04&release_date.lte=2026-05-03&with_release_type=4

I want to query for movies that are being released in the next one year and have a type of Post Production. I have tried the following query with both 3 and 4 release_type but it is returning movies with the status Released instead of Post Production.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=[API_KEY]®ion=US&language=en&with_original_language=en&sort_by=popularity.desc&page=1&release_date.gte=2025-05-04&release_date.lte=2026-05-03&with_release_type=3

I also tried removing the release dates from the query thinking that if a movie is with Post Production status, its release date should already be in the future. However, the result showed that with_release_type is not working at all without the use of release_date parameter:
