Why is The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live leaving Netflix and when?
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is leaving Netflix on August 19, 2025, likely due to the expiry of the license.
For the unversed, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is a spin-off of the original The Walking Dead series. It is set after the conclusion of the show in 2022. The spin-off was added to Netflix in January of this year. However, after just a few months, it is slated to leave the streaming platform. The reason behind this departure is not announced, but it is likely due to the expiry of the license with AMC.
We have often seen many shows and films leave streaming platforms due to the expiration of their licenses. Licensed shows usually leave Netflix after a considerable time has passed following their last episode. While The Ones Who Live’s exact reason is not confirmed, license expiry can be perceived as the most valid reason.
As the series will leave Netflix on August 19, 2025, the last day to catch it is August 18, 2025. While The Ones Who Live will leave the platform, there are other The Walking Dead shows still available.
