Could Breaking Bad be leaving Netflix in February 2025?
No, Breaking Bad is reportedly not leaving Netflix in February 2025.
In 2022, The Wrap reported on how many popular shows will be exiting the streaming platform in the coming years. This included shows like New Girl and Community, which ended up departing Netflix in April 2023 and April 2024, respectively.
Amidst all this, fans were largely disappointed with the rumors of the critically acclaimed and blockbuster show, Breaking Bad, leaving the platform. The drama was scheduled to take an exit from Netflix on February 10, 2025. However, the good news is the series reportedly won’t be taken down from the platform anytime soon.
When exactly is Breaking Bad leaving Netflix now?
Breaking Bad is now expected to leave Netflix in 2027.
As per What’s On Netflix, the series might stay on the streaming platform till April 18, 2027, due to the renewal of the show’s license. The reason behind this sudden development can be the show’s spin-off series, Better Call Saul.
As fans are aware, Better Call Saul Season 6 was added to the streamer in the U.S. on April 18, 2023, and will leave on the same date in 2027.
