The Good Place Is Leaving Netflix And Fans Are Furious About Why
Fans are freaking out over The Good Place disappearing from Netflix. The streaming service just confirmed that the hit comedy is set to leave its library soon, and people want answers.
If you had The Good Place bookmarked on Netflix as your next comfort watch, don’t wait too long. The quirky afterlife sitcom is scheduled to leave Netflix soon, and the window to stream it is narrower than you might think.
What’s happening
The Good Place will be removed from Netflix in the US on September 25, 2025. International viewers get a bit more breathing room — the show stays available outside the US until September 26, 2026.
Why it’s leaving
Short version: licensing. NBCUniversal owns the rights to The Good Place and a licensing agreement with Netflix has not been renewed. When that deal lapses, Netflix loses the legal right to stream the series, so it gets pulled.
Where it might go next
There’s no official destination announced yet. Since NBCUniversal owns the show and operates Peacock, the safe bet is that Peacock is the likely home. But nothing is confirmed — deals can still change in the coming weeks, so don’t treat Peacock as guaranteed until NBCUniversal actually says so.
Quick rundown on the show
- Created by Michael Schur.
- Stars Kristen Bell, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, D'Arcy Carden, Manny Jacinto, and Ted Danson.
- Ran four seasons and closed its story the way Schur intended.
- Earned 12 Primetime Emmy nominations.
Bottom line
If you want to rewatch The Good Place on Netflix and you live in the US, act before midnight on September 25, 2025. If you’re outside the US, you’ve got until September 26, 2026. After that, keep an eye on Peacock and NBCUniversal announcements — that looks like the logical next stop, but it isn’t official yet.
