The departure of beloved cult classics and fan favorites from Netflix is always heartbreaking, but the toughest blow came when the streaming giant’s deal with The CW expired. One of the worst waves saw some of the best shows leave the streaming platform, including The 100. Another heartbreaking departure was of DC’s Arrow. 

Gritty, brooding, and fueled by vengeance, the Green Arrow built a fiercely loyal global following. So, with the series now gone from Netflix, where can the fans watch the series again?

As part of the conclusion of its licensing deal, Arrow left Netflix on December 18, 2025. After its eight thrilling seasons, the show has returned to its home on Max, since it is a DC creation. So, Arrow, which tells the story of a billionaire who transforms into a superhero, confronts dark secrets and fights to save the world, can be continued to enjoy on Max until it finds a new home.

Netflix and The CW first joined forces in 2011, allowing CW shows to appear on Netflix shortly after their season finales. The partnership was renewed in 2016, but by 2019, both sides chose not to extend it further. However, thanks to Netflix’s five-year post-premiere rule, many beloved shows are still available on the platform for a while longer.

In Arrow’s case, its epic Season 8 finale aired in January 2020, and later led to a bittersweet end of its Netflix run in December. However, this is not the only show that left the streaming platform in December.

The beloved series, which followed the thrilling adventures of the Winchester brothers, Supernatural, left Netflix some time ago. The reason for the departure is the same as that of Arrow; the expiration of Netflix's and The CW's marriage. It is available to stream on Peacock and Amazon.

As for its return, it could come back due to Netflix’s deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, the studio behind the show. As part of a broader content library agreement, Supernatural could once again find its way onto the streaming giant. However, nothing is confirmed as of now.
