Netflix Officially Says Goodbye to a Perfect 4-Part Fantasy Series Next Week

Collider · 44 minutes ago

Netflix is removing all four seasons of The Good Place from its international catalogue on 25 September 2026, marking a significant loss for fans of the critically acclaimed afterlife sitcom. The removal comes as Netflix's licensing agreement with NBCUniversal—the show's actual owner—expires, meaning the streaming platform never owned the series despite branding it as a Netflix Original. This departure follows the show's earlier removal from North American markets in 2025 and coincides with the ten-year anniversary of the programme's premiere.

The Good Place, created by Michael Schur, ran for four seasons and 53 episodes from 2016 to 2020, earning near-perfect critical ratings of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes alongside numerous accolades including 14 Emmy nominations and three consecutive Saturn Award nominations. The series achieved considerable success on Netflix, accumulating approximately 371.9 million viewing hours during its time on the platform. The show's departure will leave viewers in territories outside North America unable to stream the celebrated comedy through Netflix, though the series remains available elsewhere.

  • The Good Place leaves Netflix internationally on 25 September 2026 due to licensing expiry
  • Series had 97% critical score and earned 14 Emmy nominations during its run
