Arrested Development leaving Netflix Canada in March

Arrested Growth will go away the Netflix catalogue worldwide, together with in Canada, on March fifteenth.

The date is mentioned on Netflix’s official page and the streamer has since confirmed the information to The Hollywood Reporter. 

Notably, this consists of all 5 seasons of the collection — each the three that aired on Fox and the 2 that have been produced as Netflix Originals. Netflix instructed THR that this is because of a licencing settlement that may expire subsequent month.

Within the U.S., the primary three seasons will stream on Hulu, but it surely’s not but clear whether or not it’ll come to Disney+ in Canada. Final yr, former Netflix Unique Marvel reveals like Daredevil and Jessica Jones left Netflix and began streaming on Disney+ worldwide, so it stays to be seen whether or not one thing related will occur with Arrested Growth.

Arrested Growth was created by Mitchell Hurwitz and stars Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Ali Shawkat, Tony Hale, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter and Canada’s personal Will Arnett and Michael Cera. The primary three seasons ran on Fox from 2003 to 2006 earlier than the collection’ cancellation. Nonetheless, Netflix revived the collection and produced two extra seasons that launched between 2013 and 2019.

Presumably, Netflix has opted to not renew its licence for Arrested Growth as a part of its bigger cost-cutting efforts. Amid inflation, elevated competitors and bumpy subscriber growth, the streaming big has been cancelling a slew of projects whereas pursuing new income streams. Most just lately, the corporate revealed that its password-sharing crackdown will officially go into effect on February 21st. It should then price $7.99 in Canada to share your password.
