Fans of Arrow, the popular superhero series from The CW, have been wondering when the show will be leaving Netflix. The series, following Oliver Queen’s transformation into the vigilante Arrow, has all eight seasons available on the platform, but the clock is ticking on how much longer it will remain.
Is Arrow Leaving Netflix in 2025?
Yes, Arrow is expected to leave Netflix on December 18, 2025. Along with Arrow, other CW shows like Supernatural and How I Met Your Mother may also be leaving around the same time. After Netflix, it’s likely that Arrow will move to Max.
Why is Arrow Leaving Netflix?
The main reason Arrow is leaving Netflix stems from the end of the licensing agreement between Netflix and The CW. The two companies struck a deal in 2011 that allowed CW shows to be added to Netflix shortly after their season finales aired. While the deal was renewed in 2016, it wasn’t continued after 2019. Since then, many shows on Netflix have remained due to a policy of keeping them for five years post-premiere.
For example, Arrow’s Season 8 finale premiered in January 2020, meaning the five-year licensing period for the series is set to expire this year, leading to speculation that the show may be removed in December 2025.
While Arrow is scheduled to leave Netflix, other shows in the Arrowverse such as Supergirl and Black Lightning will remain on the platform until 2026-2028.
So, if you’re looking to revisit Arrow, now’s the time to catch up before its exit!
