Netflix is Ditching These Beloved TV Shows and Movies This December: Here's Your Last Chance to Binge
In a month that promises to be packed with new releases, including the final episodes of Stranger Things and the return of Emily in Paris Season 5, Netflix is also saying goodbye to several popular shows. As part of its annual tradition, the streaming giant announced on November 25 that it will be removing dozens of TV series and movies from its platform by December.
Among the departures are fan-favorite shows like How I Met Your Mother, which aired for nine seasons before leaving Netflix on December 3, but remains available on Hulu and Disney+. Another beloved series to bid farewell is Supernatural, the long-running CW hit about two brothers battling supernatural creatures. Although its final episode leaves Netflix on December 18, fans can still catch up with all 15 seasons on Peacock starting a week later.
Other popular shows and movies leaving Netflix in December include Arrow, which will exit the platform on December 18 after its first season debuted in October 2014; Top Chef, which has multiple seasons departing by mid-December; and Flipping Out, which will vanish from the site by Christmas Eve. The list also includes several Marvel movies, including the Transformers films and Back to the Future.
The reasons for these departures vary, but it's often due to expired licensing agreements. While some shows may return in the future, fans will have to seek out their favorite series on rival streaming platforms or purchase individual episodes to keep watching.
Here are all the TV shows leaving Netflix this month:
* December 1: Fierce (Season 1)
* December 2: Escalona (Season 1)
* December 3: How I Met Your Mother (Seasons 1-9) and The Coyotes (Limited Series)

Netflix is doing this big clean-up and now I gotta find all my old fave shows on other platforms or buy 'em individually... it's just crazy! I remember when I was a kid, we didn't have all these streaming services. We had to wait for DVDs or TV guides to see what was coming next. 
Now, you can binge whatever you want whenever you want... but at the same time, it feels like they're getting rid of all our nostalgic stuff? Like, I know licensing agreements and all that, but still... it's just gonna be weird not seeing How I Met Your Mother or Supernatural on Netflix anymore 
.
anyway, it's sad to see all the other popular ones go too - supernatural was such a great show and arrow had some awesome characters. and i'm gonna have to start searching for new shows to watch now that my faves are gone 
meanwhile we gotta get our marve l and transformers fix thru amazon or google play or whatever u know? 
What's the point of even having a "binge" option if you're just gonna take it away in 1 sec?

Why do they gotta make us do all the work? Can't Netflix just stick to what's popular for once? 
It's like they're trying to get rid of our childhood memories... Arrow, Supernatural, How I Met Your Mother... who's gonna take these away from me?!

i've been watching that show since season 1 and now it's just... gone 
meanwhile we're stuck with peacock and disney+ trying to find our favorite shows, ugh what a hassle 
... I mean, what's the point of even having a streaming service if we can't keep our fave shows? Remember when Hulu was still a new kid on the block and we had to actually look through channels to find what we wanted to watch? Now it seems like everyone has all the best stuff and we're left with nothing 
.
but on the bright side, we can find them on other platforms and also get to explore new ones 
it was such an iconic show 
Omg what no more How I Met Your Mother on Netflix?? I've watched that show like 5 times already
