Is Beauty and the Beast movie available on Netflix?

Beauty and the Beast, the police procedural series that aired on The CW between 2012 and 2016 is now set to depart Netflix after being on Netflix for well over half a decade. All four seasons are due to depart from the service on September 19th, 2021.

Based loosely on the 1987 CBS series, the sci-fi show starred Kristin Kreuk, Jay Ryan, Max Brown, Austin Basis, and Nina Lisandrello.

The series was available on Netflix in multiple regions but is now due to depart from its final region in September 2021.

Never checked out the show before? Now is your last chance. Here’s what you can expect:

“A homicide detective and a veteran who has been turned into a beast by a military experiment gone awry become allies after they meet by chance.”

Why is Beauty and the Beast leaving Netflix?

Netflix has been streaming the series since 2014 with new seasons arriving on Netflix every year thereafter. The final season, season 4, arrived on Netflix on September 19th, 2016.

As with all titles from The CW, once the final season gets added, that begins a countdown as to when the show will leave. The good news is that the countdown is for 5 years but the bad news, of course for Beauty and the Beast, is that we’re now coming up to the end of those 5 years.

That means all four seasons of Beauty and the Beast are set to leave Netflix on September 19th, 2021 meaning your last day to watch the series in full is on September 18th.

Where will Beauty and the Beast stream next?

Once the series leaves Netflix, we’re expecting it to land on Paramount+ given that CBS Television reportedly has the licensing rights however it could also head to HBO Max. Keep your eyes peeled.

Beauty and the Beast is among a number of high-profile shows that will depart Netflix in September 2021. The BBC’s Ripper Street is set to expire next month as is the beloved Showtimes series Penny Dreadful.

With new shows and movies coming to Netflix in September, it comes as no surprise that shows and movies currently streaming on the streamer would be leaving and finding a new home elsewhere. Unfortunately, Beauty and the Beast is one of those unlucky TV shows because it will be gone from Netflix in September 2021.

We’re pretty familiar with The CW and Netflix’s licensing agreement. So, we knew that Beauty and the Beast‘s streaming run on Netflix was coming to an end soon. But honestly, we can’t even be mad because all four seasons of Beauty and the Beast have been available for streaming on Netflix since 2016.

That means you had five years to binge-watch this TV series in its entirety. That seems like a reasonable amount of time to me. However, if you haven’t watched this sci-fi series yet, you still have some time.

When is the last day to watch Beauty and the Beast on Netflix?

Beauty and the Beast is leaving Netflix on Sept. 19, 2021. This means that the last day to watch this fantasy series in full is on Sept. 18. So, from today (Aug. 30), you have two weeks and five days to get your binge on before Beauty and the Beast is gone from the streamer.

Seasons 1 and 2 consists of 22 episodes each, which may seem like a lot, but as the plot thickens, you’ll look up and find that you’re already on the final season. Those 40-minute episodes go by quicker than you think! Seasons 3 and 4 only consist of 13 episodes each, so you’ll finish those seasons in a jiffy.

Will Beauty and the Beast return to Netflix?

Probably not. It’s more likely that Beauty and the Beast will find its new home on Paramount+. According to What’s on Netflix, CBS Television has licensing rights to the suspenseful series, so it would make sense for the TV show to move over to the Paramount+ streaming platform.

Beauty and the Beast could also make its landing on HBO Max. This wouldn’t be shocking because recently, we’ve seen other CW shows move over to HBO Max after its season run ends on the network.

Let’s not focus on the fantasy series moving to another streaming platform. Instead, let’s put all of our focus on starting a binge session of all four seasons of Beauty and the Beast on Netflix before time is up!
