Why Fans Think The Flash Is Leaving Netflix in 2025

by

Many fans are worried that The Flash will soon be taken off Netflix, following the announcement that other shows from the ‘Arrowverse’ are leaving the streaming service. Because Arrow was the show that started the whole universe, its removal has led viewers to believe The Flash will be next. However, the situation isn’t quite as simple as it seems.

Are The Flash and other Arrowverse shows leaving Netflix in 2025?

Don’t worry, The Flash isn’t going anywhere on Netflix – it’s confirmed to stay until 2028. Only Arrow is being removed, and because Arrow is so central to the ‘Arrowverse’ shows, many fans worried others would be pulled too. But that’s not happening. Just the eight seasons of Arrow will be leaving the platform on December 18, 2025.

Licensing also contributes to the confusion. The CW’s agreements with Netflix aren’t permanent. When a popular show leaves Netflix, people often think the deal for all shows from that franchise is ending, too. However, that’s not what’s happening with The Flash.

When will The Flash and other Arrowverse shows leave Netflix?

Here is a list of the licensing schedule for the Arrowverse shows on Netflix.

  • Arrow: leaves Netflix on December 18, 2025.
  • Black Lightning: remains on Netflix until September 1, 2026.
  • Supergirl: remains on Netflix until December 15, 2026.
  • DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: stays on Netflix until September 2, 2027.
  • The Flash: its license runs through November 28, 2028.

Despite rumors, The Flash isn’t leaving Netflix just because Arrow is gone. Each Arrowverse show has its own departure timeline. If you want to watch the original Arrow series, it’s best to do so now, as it’s currently unclear where it will be available in the future.
