Someone created the IMDb entry with the incorrect year. The production is completing post only this month.

In Basic Data under Release Dates, we're unable to add the premiere date next month. There have been no screenings so far.

Instead of submitting the revision to the main series page, I would suggest revising the release dates on each episode page. Usually, the release date display on the main series page depends on the first episode page's release date (#1.1). 

In addition, make sure you've clicked the checkbox to the left of the following statement:

provide an explanation to assist in processing this change

In the explanation box, write a brief statement why the date is being changed. You can also post the URL of this discussion. The more information you can provide to the IMDb editors, the more likely the data will be corrected.

If the main title page still displays 2016 after processing, please wait for an IMDb representative for assistance.

I hope this helps. Please write back if you have any more questions.

D'oh! Of course. The whole thing about most info for a series being submitted per ep. Thanks, problem solved (I'd say).

One issue -- the release date addition screen for an ep doesn't seem to have an option to add an explanation. So I got a warning about Australia already having a release date, but I couldn't respond to it.

Karakter, 

The 2018 dates were added. In the same submission, were you able to submit a deletion of the 2016 dates? If you did, the 2016 dates will eventually drop off within the week or less, depending on any data backlogs. (Data Processing Times)

If not, you will need to also submit updates deleting 2016 from the Release Dates section for each page. This request would also be where the explanation box would appear, where you can write a brief statement why the date is being deleted. As mentioned before, add the URL of this discussion in the explanation box.
