Four fan-favorite comedy series will soon say goodbye to Netflix, as their licenses end in the United States. Below, we’ll walk you through each of them, how well they performed, and where they’ll stream next. 

While the majority of these are Disney and HBO departures, meaning they’re doubtful to get renewed, A.P. Bio might get renewed, although for the most part, removals tend to be pretty final. 

For the full list of what’s set to depart throughout Netflix in both the United States and the United Kingdom, keep it locked here on What’s on Netflix. Also, remember that Netflix has fairly recently launched a brand new category that allows you to see, within the Netflix UI, all the upcoming departures.

As we’ve been seeing with HBO shows beginning in July, all the titles that made their way onto the streaming service in the United States between July 2023 and April 2024 are now departing after a two-year stint. First added on November 1st, 2023, Six Feet Under will be leaving on the first of the month. 

Created by Alan Ball, the series ran for a total of five seasons between 2001 and 20025. The story focuses on a family coming to terms with a major death in the family and the subsequent trials and tribulations of a grieving mother and her children running a funeral business. 

Looking at the engagement report stats for the show, it did moderately well upon release but dramatically tailed off over time. Between its arrival on Netflix and June 2025, the series garnered 15.2M views across all seasons. 

This series also made its way onto Netflix in international territories alongside the United States, such as Latin America, some territories in Europe, and Asia, and will depart on November 1st.

The TV show Reba is a popular American sitcom that starred country music superstar Reba McEntire as the title character, Reba Hart. It aired for six seasons, initially on The WB and later on The CW, from 2001 to 2007, and made its Netflix debut as part of a deal with Disney back in May 2024. As with all other titles from that Disney deal, they only stream for a small 18-month window before falling off, and if you can believe it, that time is coming to an end in November. 

The addition of Reba to Netflix didn’t impact the show’s availability on Hulu, where it’ll continue to stream beyond its Netflix departure. It’s also often found on AVOD services.

Of all the shows on this list, Archer’s move to Netflix was actually a return rather than a debut, with its previous run between 2014 and 2018, when it was removed alongside the majority of the Fox/FX catalog. If you’re planning a watch or rewatch, you’ll need to get your skates on, given that Netflix currently has 13 seasons of the show and well over 125 episodes. 

One of the longest-running shows on FX, the adult animated sitcom comes from the mind of Adam Reed, with the show crossing into many genres and time periods throughout its run, but at its core, it’s a spy comedy where you’ll follow secret agent Sterling Archer and his colleagues busting bad guys (albeit not always to plan). 

As with Reba, because this is a Disney-owned title, it’ll return to streaming exclusively on Hulu for the foreseeable future (and its recent addition to Tubi), unless it gets licensed to other platforms down the line. 

The final comedy series we’re highlighting that is departing Netflix in full is A.P. Bio, which is leaving the fastest of any shows on this list, having only been added to Netflix in November of last year, meaning a very quick 12-month stint, and it’s gone. 

The sitcom created by Mike O’Brien follows Jack Griffin, a disgraced Harvard philosophy scholar forced to return to his hometown of Toledo, Ohio, where he takes a job teaching Advanced Placement Biology at Whitlock High School. Rather than teaching biology, Jack uses his class of overachieving students to exact revenge on those he believes wronged him, leading to a series of hilariously unethical schemes. Starring Glenn Howerton as Jack and Patton Oswalt as the well-meaning principal, the show is a favorite among those who do take the plunge and give it a whirl. 

The underlying rights to A.P. Bio are owned by Universal Television, so where the show streams next is already settled; it’ll continue its permanent residency on Peacock, but don’t rule out others picking it up along the way. 

While these are the major comedy series leaving Netflix US, we’re also going to see The Graham Norton Show depart alongside the criminally underlooked limited series Wrong Kind of Black, plus kids titles like Abby Hatcher and Robocar POLO. Are you going to be checking out any of these before they depart? Let us know in the comments.
