Why is This is Us leaving Netflix? Removal explained

Fans of “This is Us” may find themselves shedding tears for another reason: the show will no longer be available on Netflix starting next month. However, let’s delve into why this shift is taking place.

Save the date: July 8, 2025 marks the final day you can stream This is Us on Netflix. This captivating television series revolves around the lives of siblings Kevin, Kate, and Randall, each dealing with their personal challenges at various life stages. After a past trauma continues to haunt them, they strive for happiness and growth.

Without a doubt, this isn’t your typical feel-good series. Imagine combining the warm familial bonds and communal vibes from shows like Ginny & Georgia, Sweet Magnolias, and Virgin River. However, it includes a significantly higher dose of tear-jerking moments.

However, before long, you’ll no longer find “This is Us” available for streaming. Wondering why it’s leaving Netflix and where else you might catch it?
