Issue with the SIMILAR MOVIES API & SIMILAR TV SERIES API

Hello Travis,
Everything seemed to be working fine with similar movies and tv series apis until a few days ago.
In case of similar movies and similar tv series api, the 'overview' field is turning out be 'null' for every movie and tv series.
All other JSON fields seem to be coming perfectly except the 'overview' field.
I have added a JSON RESPONSE FOR REFERENCE for a movie with id = 550. Notice that the overview fields are all null for all the similar movies. This problem is persisting even for similar tv series.
This is causing a bit of an issue in my app which uses similar movies and tv series content.
Thank you. Hope to hear from you soon. I hope this bug gets resolved as soon as possible. :-D

The fix for this has been pushed live and will start returning proper data as soon as the cached data expires from cache (~4 hours).
Cheers.
