“The Big Bang Theory to Leave Netflix in Some Regions by 2025”

he case of Netflix Australia, you’re set to keep the show through until at least June 30th, 2025, midway through the year. For Brits, that will continue through to the end of 2025, with all 12 seasons currently set to expire on December 31st, 2025. That end of 2025 date also applies to South Africa and Germany.
The date for Australia aligns with an H1 2025 rollout for Max there, and plans to launch Max in the UK were delayed till 2026, which makes sense for the UK departure. Likewise, Friends and Rick & Morty could also be on the chopping block for those regions around this time.  

If you’re a fan of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and live in select regions, you might be sad to hear that the show is leaving Netflix in 2025. All 279 episodes will be departing throughout the year, although the spin-off ‘Young Sheldon’ is safe for now. It’s important to note that the United States will not be affected, as the show was never available on Netflix US and has been exclusive to HBO Max since its launch. Despite this, the show still garnered significant viewership in over a dozen countries where it was available on Netflix.

The first regions to see ‘The Big Bang Theory’ leave will be in Asia, with a removal notice indicating that the series will no longer be available in countries like Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Hong Kong starting on December 30th. The decision to remove the show from Netflix in these territories is a strategic move by HBO Max, which is expanding its presence globally and aiming to offer exclusive content on its platform to attract subscribers.

For viewers in the United Kingdom and Australia, you will still have some time to enjoy ‘The Big Bang Theory’ on Netflix, as the rights are due for renewal in the near future. Australians can expect to keep the show until at least June 30th, 2025, while Brits will have access until the end of the year. The departure date aligns with the rollout of HBO Max in these regions, indicating a shift towards exclusive streaming rights for popular shows. Stay tuned for updates on other fan favorites like ‘Friends’ and ‘Rick & Morty,’ as they may also be affected by these changes.
