Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Netflix Originals leaving Netflix?

Not every title branded as a Netflix Original is owned by Netflix. Many are licensed from other studios, broadcasters or distributors for a fixed term, often seven to ten years, and once that deal ends the rights go back to the owner.

Can a Netflix Original come back after it leaves?

Yes. Netflix can renew a license before a title departs or re-acquire it later, as it has done with shows like Call My Agent! and Rita.

Will these titles leave Netflix in every country?

Not necessarily. Removal dates can vary by region, and this list primarily covers Netflix in the United States.

Where will these shows and movies go after they leave Netflix?

It depends on the rights holder. Some titles find a new home on another streaming service, while others become unavailable to stream for a while.
