About Rick and Morty: A Global Animated Phenomenon
Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, Rick and Morty began as a quirky parody inspired by Back to the Future. Over the years, the show evolved into one of the most influential adult animated series of the decade. Premiering on Adult Swim, the show quickly built a massive fanbase thanks to its bold storytelling, bizarre humor, multidimensional adventures, and thought-provoking sci-fi concepts.
Even though its popularity has settled slightly in recent years, the series continues to dominate conversations among adult animation fans. New seasons consistently generate high demand across streaming platforms.
When Is Rick and Morty Leaving Netflix?
Netflix UK Removal Date
If you’re in the United Kingdom, all seven seasons of Rick and Morty will officially leave Netflix UK on December 31, 2025. The show first arrived on Netflix UK in October 2016 and has remained a top-watched animated title for nearly a decade. With this departure, viewers in the UK will lose one of their favorite binge-worthy shows right at the end of the year.
Regions Losing Rick and Morty on December 30, 2025
Apart from the UK, several other major Netflix regions will lose Rick and Morty one day earlier, on December 30, 2025. These regions include:
- Germany
- Greece
- India
- Israel
- Italy
- Japan
- Lithuania
- South Africa
- South Korea
- Turkey
That means viewers in countries like Netflix India, Netflix Japan, and Netflix Italy will also lose access to the series. This removal impacts millions of fans worldwide.
At the moment, Netflix has not yet displayed the “Last Day to Watch” tag for the series inside its app or web browser. However, these notifications usually appear closer to the removal date.
Why Is Rick and Morty Leaving Netflix?
The departure of Rick and Morty is tied to the expiration of Netflix’s licensing deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, the company that owns Adult Swim. Licensing contracts allow Netflix to stream shows like Rick and Morty for a specific duration. Once the contract expires, Netflix must renew the rights—or remove the content.
With Warner Bros. Discovery currently facing major corporate changes and potential sales, the future of licensing deals remains unpredictable. Many media analysts believe Warner Bros. may shift more of its popular titles exclusively to HBO Max to strengthen its own platform.
This isn’t the first time Warner Bros. has pulled back content. Major series such as Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and other popular titles have already left or are scheduled to leave Netflix in various regions.
Is Rick and Morty Gone From Netflix Forever?
Not necessarily.
While several regions are losing the series, Rick and Morty is still available on Netflix in many countries, such as:
- Argentina
- Belgium
- Brazil
- Colombia
- Czech Republic
- France
- Hungary
- Poland
- Romania
- Russia
- Switzerland
This means Netflix still holds rights to the show in certain markets. If Warner Bros. decides to maintain or renegotiate deals in the future, Rick and Morty could potentially return to regions like the UK or India. But for now, nothing has been confirmed.
The series remains extremely popular, with new seasons consistently ranking among the most-watched animated shows worldwide. This demand could encourage Netflix to pursue renewed licensing deals—but with Warner Bros. restructuring, the future remains uncertain.
Where Will Rick and Morty Stream After Leaving Netflix?
Most likely, Rick and Morty will shift toward HBO Max (known as Max in some regions), the official streaming home of Warner Bros., Adult Swim, and Cartoon Network titles.
If the licensing returns to Warner’s ecosystem, Max could become the exclusive destination for all seasons of Rick and Morty, including future releases.
Fans should keep an eye on official announcements from Warner Bros. Discovery, Netflix, and HBO Max as the 2025 removal date approaches.
Why the Removal Matters for Fans
The exit of Rick and Morty from Netflix affects more than just casual viewers. For many fans worldwide, Netflix has been the most convenient platform to binge all seven seasons. With the show leaving:
- Viewers will lose access to their favorite episodes
- New fans may struggle to find an accessible streaming platform
- Discoverability of the show on Netflix’s algorithm will vanish
- Users may need alternate subscriptions
The removal is particularly impactful for fans in India, the UK, and Japan, where Netflix viewership is among the highest for the series.
Final Thoughts
The departure of Rick and Morty from Netflix across multiple regions marks the end of an era for millions of fans who enjoyed easy access to the show for years. With the series leaving on December 30 and 31, 2025, users should take this time to catch up on episodes, revisit their favorite adventures, or complete a full-series rewatch.
As the streaming landscape shifts and parent companies reevaluate their strategies, the future of Rick and Morty on Netflix remains uncertain. For now, the show’s removal signals a potential move toward HBO Max exclusivity in the coming years.
