Gilmore Girls to Leave Netflix US at End of June

The change follows expiring U.S. licensing held by Warner Bros. Television and points to the series moving to other streamers as rights are reclaimed.

Overview

  • Netflix announced on Monday that seasons 1–7 of Gilmore Girls will stop streaming in the United States after June 30, with technical removal planned July 1.
  • The 2016 revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life has a separate licensing window and is reported to remain on Netflix until roughly November 25, 2026.
  • Warner Bros. Television owns the underlying rights, and industry reporting says the departures reflect time‑limited licenses and Warner Bros. Discovery’s push to reclaim legacy shows for its platforms.
  • Availability will vary by territory: the original seven seasons still stream in some markets and are reported to be available or expected on services such as Hulu, Disney+ or other Warner Bros. platforms after the Netflix exit.
  • Fans reacted strongly online, with many expressing disappointment and some threatening to cancel subscriptions, highlighting how catalog changes affect viewing habits and subscriber decisions.
