Hemlock Grove, one of Netflix's earliest original series, has found renewed popularity on Apple's TV Store years after being pulled from Netflix entirely. The horror drama, which launched in 2013 alongside House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, was removed from Netflix in 2022, but has since climbed the charts as a paid title elsewhere, illustrating how even flagship "Netflix Original" content is not guaranteed a permanent home on the platform.

The series, based on Brian McGreevy's 2012 novel and executive produced by Eli Roth, blended werewolves, vampires and gothic melodrama in the fictional Pennsylvania town of the title, starring Landon Liboiron and Bill Skarsgård. It ran for three seasons, notably drawing more opening-weekend viewers than House of Cards during its debut run, and was quickly renewed for a second season before ending after its third in 2014. Its journey from Netflix flagship to forgotten show to a purchasable hit on a rival storefront highlights the precariousness of streaming libraries, even as Netflix prepares to release more than 700 original series in 2026 alone.
