Why is Netflix getting rid of Arrested Development? (Image credit: Fox/Netflix)
Update: Don't fret, UK-based fans of Arrested Development, for the acclaimed sitcom has found a new streaming home.
The short answer is that Netflix's licensing agreement, which has allowed it to show Arrested Development for over 10 years, is running out very soon.
That multi-year deal officially runs out on March 15, meaning Netflix has to remove the series from its platform whether it wants to or not as things stand. The streaming giant had to do likewise with its line-up of Marvel TV shows, including Daredevil, The Punisher, and Jessica Jones, when its licensing deal with the comic book giant ended in March 1, 2022. Those superhero shows, plus Netflix's other Marvel live-action series, have since moved to Disney Plus.
Netflix doesn't appear to be putting up a fight to keep Arrested Development, either. A Netflix spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter that the expiration of its licensing deal is the primary reason behind Arrested Development's forthcoming departure, but didn't state whether Netflix was in talks to extend the agreement.
That could change, of course. In November 2022, Netflix was set to lose Norwegian-American crime drama series Lilyhammer. However, a last-minute change of heart led to the streaming behemoth renewing its licensing arrangement, which will now keep Lilyhammer on Netflix until 2029.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, TechRadar exclusively confirmed that Christopher Nolan's Batman movies wouldn't be leaving HBO Max after all. The Dark Knight trilogy was set to leave Warner Bros Discovery's primary streamer on Saturday, February 11, but a renewal of that licensing deal meant the three films would remain on HBO Max.
There is previous form, then, for streamers (including Netflix) to keep TV shows and movies on their service. Unless Netflix performs a U-turn, though, Arrested Development won't join Lilyhammer in sticking around on the platform.
