The Good Place Is Leaving Netflix: Here’s Where to Watch It Next
The Good Place is exiting Netflix, but the afterlife continues—here’s where to stream the fan-favorite fantasy comedy about a crooked saleswoman who wakes up in heaven by mistake and scrambles to hide her past.
If you have been binging The Good Place on Netflix for comfort (or ethics homework), heads up: it is on the clock. The show is leaving Netflix, and yes, there is a plan for where it goes next. Licensing musical chairs is annoying, but here is the clean version.
Where The Good Place is headed
After it exits Netflix, The Good Place will land on Amazon Prime Video. That means if you have a Prime Video subscription, you will be covered, and if you do not, Amazon still does the one-month free trial for new users before you have to pay up.
- Leaves Netflix: September 25, 2025
- Next stop: Amazon Prime Video
- Prime Video price: $14.99 per month or $139 per year (after the 1-month free trial for new users)
- Worth noting: Despite being an NBCUniversal show, it is not streaming on Peacock
- Netflix timeline: Season 1 showed up on Netflix in September 2017; the final season hit worldwide in early 2020
- Why it is leaving: the Netflix licensing deal ran its course and was not renewed
Quick refresher on the show
The Good Place is the clever fantasy-comedy about Eleanor, a dead saleswoman who absolutely did not live a model life and somehow wakes up in the heavenly afterlife anyway. She is not supposed to be there, so she scrambles to hide her past and fake it in paradise. It is bright, weird, twisty, and much smarter about morality than most network sitcoms ever attempt.
No, it is not going to Peacock (weird, right?)
Yep, it is an NBCUniversal series, so you would think Peacock would be the obvious home. But streaming rights are a maze, and in this case, Amazon gets it after Netflix. Inside baseball, but that is how these legacy deals shake out sometimes.
It was always meant to be short and done
The show wrapped after Season 4 because creator Michael Schur designed it that way from the start. He talked about the plan back in 2019 in Newsweek:
"That is why we named the episodes chapters instead of episodes or whatever, because it feels like a novel that is being carefully sort of laid out chapter by chapter. We wanted the end game, in particular, to pay homage to that and to make it feel like everything that came before matters and it is all part of one big long story."
So, if you are mid-rewatch on Netflix, you have time. If you are just getting started, set a reminder for September 25, 2025. After that, it is all about Prime Video.
