The movie is "The Me You Can't See" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14584186

OMDB API request by title and year returns {"Response":"False","Error":"Movie not found!"}

OMDB API request by IMDB ID returns {"Response":"False","Error":"Error getting data."}

For me it works..

{"result":[{"Title":"The Me You Can't See","Year":"2021–","imdbID":"tt14584186","Type":"series","Poster":"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BN2U0Y2RmNTUtYmRjOS00MDM5LTg1OWUtYmY3NzA4NDY0ZDQ5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMDM2NDM2MQ@@._V1_SX300.jpg"}],"error":null,"meta":{}}

@Max-S-upper did you try doing a request from the Examples section on https://www.omdbapi.com/? It certainly works as @skorotkiewicz reports...

Omdbapi draws from wikidata last I heard and not imdb directly. Wikidata is updated by the community (including potentially you). Imdb charges a lot of money to use its APIs or bulk data download compared to this free option.
