Viewers are curious to know whether Gilmore Girls is leaving Netflix in the wake of its recent move to new streaming platforms. Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, the comedy-drama series explores the relationship of a single mother and daughter who are based in Stars Hollow, Connecticut, experiencing highs and lows while dealing with their neighbors. With the series having found new streaming homes, fans want to know if it is set to leave its old one. Here are the details.
Is Gilmore Girls leaving Netflix in 2025?
No, Gilmore Girls is not leaving Netflix in 2025.
Rumors about Gilmore Girls leaving Netflix began when the series was added to Hulu during the 2024 holiday season. As a result, this move sparked speculation about its long-term availability on the streaming giant. However, when the show moved in December, Variety confirmed that it would remain fully available on Netflix, unaffected by its addition to Hulu. This is because the deal with Hulu was “non-exclusive.”
The outlet confirmed that Gilmore Girls is now streaming in its entirety on Netflix (the home of the revival titled A Year in the Life) and the Disney-owned Hulu. However, the series is still not available on Max, the streaming platform owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. The Hulu deal is non-exclusive, meaning Seasons 1–7 of the series will remain available on both Netflix and Hulu. Therefore, there are no plans to remove it from Netflix anytime soon.
How long does Netflix have the rights for Gilmore Girls?
According to Country Living, Gilmore Girls will remain on Netflix at least until July 1, 2026.
Viewers can rest easy knowing that the show will remain on Netflix until the specified date. When the contract is up for renewal, Netflix may choose to extend it or remove the series. However, more clarity on its future will emerge as the streaming rights near expiration. Additionally, reports indicate that Netflix holds an exclusive deal for A Year in the Life. They further ensure that the unofficial sequel series will remain on the platform until at least November 25, 2026.
