'Supernatural' Is Leaving Netflix, but You Can Carry On and Stream Elsewhere

Supernatural, the hit monster-hunting show that ran on the WB and then later on the CW for 15 seasons, has been a reliable Netflix mainstay for more than a decade. The show has been streaming on Netflix since 2012, with new seasons dropping on the platform shortly after they aired on The CW. When the series ended its run on network TV back in 2020, Netflix's licensing agreement gave it the rights to host all 15 seasons for a period of five years from the date of the final season of the show.

Well, those five years are up, and now the show is about to disappear from the site. You know how sometimes you take things for granted without even realizing it? Supernatural on Netflix is one of those instances when you don't truly appreciate what you have until it's taken away.

So when, exactly, is Supernatural leaving Netflix, and where is it going? Supernatural, starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as Dean and Sam Winchester, siblings who are paranormal investigators and demon hunters, is being taken off Netflix on Dec. 17. But it won't be off streaming for long, as it has been confirmed that all 15 seasons will drop on Peacock just five days later on Dec. 22.

If you don't subscribe to Peacock, or just want to own the series outright so you don't have to worry about it jumping around from platform to platform, the show is also available to purchase on Prime Video for $0.48 an episode or $8 a season, and on Apple TV and Fandango Now, where prices range from $10 to $25 a season. In the meantime, you can certainly try to watch all 327 episodes before they leave Netflix, but that will require you to watch about 11 per day every day, factoring in time for sleep and a few hours of work, if you can muster the strength.
