Those who have watched long enough know that Animal Kingdom has a few things that stay quiet for long in this crime-filled family saga. But the seasons of cryptic clean-outs are as suspicious as they are inevitable, no matter how discreet. This time, one of TNT’s most thrilling exports seems to be right in the eye of the notion. Could the Codys be plotting a dramatic exit from Netflix? The answer appears to be just around the corner, come December.

With high tension and bigger heists, the clan never sticks around where the heat gets too intense, anyways. 

Animal Kingdom was set to officially leave the Netflix drama roster at the end of November 2025. The first five seasons of the series were supposed to depart Netflix on December 1st, 2025, as a result of the expiration of the licensing agreement. However, the show has now been renewed through 2026, according to What's on Netflix. 

The show’s initially planned departure, before the renewal, aligned with the platform’s typical schedule for expiring third-party content. December always ushers in a wave of removals as Netflix rotates its licensed library, and this year is no exception. Among big television departures, How I Met Your Mother is a notable exit. Subscribers are usually notified roughly 30 days in advance, which aligns with the recent notices and updates seen both on Netflix’s interface and official news sources.​

Amidst the chaos coming with the streaming let down, it is only fair for watchers to have their own backup safe-streamers.

For fans nervous about unfinished storylines, there is a silver lining. While Animal Kingdom is set to leave Netflix, it remains available on other platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV in the United States. There is currently no announcement regarding a new exclusive streaming deal or a permanent removal from all major services. Thus, those who want to catch up with the Codys outside of Netflix will likely have alternative streaming options, at least for the foreseeable future.​

Animal Kingdom has joined the growing list of beloved television series leaving Netflix as the year draws to a close. While there are currently no plans for a seventh season or a spinoff, followers of the show can still revisit the six seasons. Until then, the Codys’ high-stakes projects have already been cemented in streaming history for enthusiasts to visit whenever. ​
