Netflix recently notified subscribers that the series will be leaving on February 1, 2023.

This is exactly two years after the second half of season 3 arrived. This is not surprising because, in 2019 and 2020, Disney began acquiring miraculous ladybug broadcast and television rights worldwide.

in 2020 Disney kept the rights to production Miracle World: New York – United HeroeZ Y Miracle World: Shanghai – Lady Dragon Movie (s. In its exclusive announcement of this pact, Variety incorrectly stated that the first 3 seasons were now available to stream on Disney+ and Netflix, but would leave Netflix when their windows expired. In reality, fans in many territories have been waiting two years for the first three seasons to leave Netflix.

In 2021, Disney Officially Got Full Broadcast Rights to Seasons 1-3 in most countries and upcoming seasons 4 and 5. The clock has been ticking for quite some time, but it’s finally approaching the proverbial midnight. Nearly 2 years after the announcement that Disney+ had acquired the worldwide streaming rights to Miraculous Seasons 1-3, the franchise will be leaving Netflix on February 1, 2023. This means that the last day to watch is January 31, 2023.

In addition to Miraculousthe aptly named Christmas Special – Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir it is also scheduled to depart that day. Netflix exclusive webisode “Happy Birthday to you!” does not show an expiration notice, so we hope it will stick around longer.

Now that Disney has the rights, it’s unlikely the series will return for a while, but since they don’t own the series, anything is possible in the future. Why are you sad Miraculous leaving Netflix?
