Netflix has apologised for an 'unacceptable' social media post, which made reference to Bloody Sunday.

The streaming giant came under fire after the official Twitter account for their series The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina posted a tweet referring to Bloody Sunday. The post, which remained up for about 14 hours despite the criticism, showed two cast members, including series lead Kiernan Shipka, coated in fake blook and captioned with the words 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'.
