BUG: Construction of Series with NAs and interval-of-datetime dtype raises error #41805

Closed

Description

@tlaytongoogle
  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.


Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import pandas as pd

print(pd.Series(data=[None], dtype='interval[datetime64[ns]]'))

Problem description

Instantiating a Series with NA values in data fails if dtype is specified as interval[datetime64[ns]], raising an error:
