Star Trek Leaving Netflix in 2026: What’s Happening?
Netflix once served as the global streaming home for Star Trek, especially in international markets like the UK, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Over the past decade, Netflix licensed nearly the entire Star Trek television catalog, making it easily accessible to a worldwide audience.
However, as streaming competition intensified, Paramount (the owner of Star Trek) began reclaiming its content to strengthen Paramount+. The United States saw most Star Trek shows leave Netflix between 2021 and 2022, and now the same strategy is being rolled out internationally.
As of now, all remaining Star Trek series on Netflix outside the US will be removed by January 2026, unless a last-minute licensing renewal occurs — which appears increasingly unlikely.
Star Trek: Prodigy Leaving Netflix Globally
Last Day to Watch: December 31, 2025
Removal Date: January 1, 2026
One of the most surprising exits is Star Trek: Prodigy, a series that Netflix itself helped revive.
Originally developed for Paramount+, Star Trek: Prodigy was removed from that platform before its second season aired. Netflix stepped in, acquired exclusive rights, and released Season 2 worldwide, positioning itself as the show’s new home.
Unfortunately, that rescue turned out to be temporary.
- Season 1 was removed from Netflix earlier in 2025
- Season 2, which was exclusive to Netflix, will leave globally on January 1, 2026
- Netflix has confirmed the show will not be renewed
There have been rumors that Star Trek: Prodigy may return to Paramount+ in 2026, but no official confirmation has been announced yet.
With Star Trek: Starfleet Academy debuting on Paramount+ soon, fans are hopeful that Prodigy will find a permanent home again — but for now, its future remains uncertain.
Classic Star Trek Series Leaving Netflix Internationally
Last Day to Watch: January 8, 2026
Removal Date: January 9, 2026
Netflix has confirmed that every classic Star Trek television series will leave the platform globally in January 2026.
This applies to all international regions, regardless of when the shows were first added. Some countries had Star Trek content as early as 2013, while others received it later — but all licenses are now ending at the same time.
Full List of Star Trek Series Leaving Netflix
Here’s the complete breakdown of what’s being removed:
- Star Trek: The Original Series (1968–1969) – Seasons 1–3
- Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973–1974) – Seasons 1–2
- Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–1994) – Seasons 1–7
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993–1999) – Seasons 1–7
- Star Trek: Voyager (1995–2001) – Seasons 1–7
- Star Trek: Enterprise (2001–2005) – Seasons 1–4
By the Numbers:
- 6 iconic series
- 30 seasons
- 717 total episodes
That’s decades of television history disappearing from Netflix in one massive content purge.
Why Is Netflix Losing Star Trek Worldwide?
The reason behind this global removal is straightforward: Paramount wants exclusive control of Star Trek.
Star Trek is one of Paramount’s most valuable franchises, alongside Mission: Impossible and Transformers. To grow Paramount+, the company has been steadily pulling Star Trek content back under its own streaming umbrella.
Netflix’s international licenses for classic Star Trek shows were signed years ago, and now those contracts are expiring. Instead of renewing them, Paramount is choosing to make Paramount+ the exclusive home for both classic and modern Star Trek content worldwide.
While last-minute renewals are technically possible, industry insiders suggest negotiations between Netflix and Paramount are currently strained, making extensions unlikely.
Does This Affect Netflix in the United States?
No — but that’s because it already happened.
Netflix US lost nearly all Star Trek television content between 2021 and 2022. Since then:
- Classic Star Trek shows have lived almost exclusively on Paramount+
- Netflix US no longer carries Star Trek series
However, Netflix US will stream rebooted Star Trek movies from Paramount starting January 1, 2026. These movie rotations are standard licensing deals and are not connected to the TV show removals.
Where Will Star Trek Stream After Leaving Netflix?
While official announcements are still pending, the most likely destination for all Star Trek series is Paramount+.
Expected Streaming Homes:
- Paramount+ – Primary and likely exclusive platform
- Regional partners (possible, but unconfirmed)
- Digital rental platforms (Google TV, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video Store)
For international viewers, Paramount+ availability varies by country. Some regions may experience short delays before all Star Trek content becomes available again.
What This Means for International Star Trek Fans
The removal of Star Trek from Netflix is a significant loss for global audiences.
Netflix made Star Trek:
- Easy to discover
- Available in multiple languages
- Accessible without extra subscriptions
With everything moving behind Paramount+, viewers may need to:
- Subscribe to another streaming service
- Wait for regional releases
- Purchase individual seasons digitally
For longtime fans and new viewers alike, January 2026 marks the end of an era.
Important Dates to Remember
| Title | Last Day to Watch | Removal Date |
|---|---|---|
| Star Trek: Prodigy (Season 2) | Dec 31, 2025 | Jan 1, 2026 |
| All Classic Star Trek Series | Jan 8, 2026 | Jan 9, 2026 |
Final Thoughts: The End of Star Trek on Netflix
At one point, Netflix held:
- Exclusive international rights to Star Trek: Discovery
- Full access to all classic Star Trek series
- Global streaming rights to Star Trek: Prodigy
By January 2026, Netflix will have zero Star Trek TV shows worldwide.
For fans, this is a bittersweet moment — a reminder of how the streaming landscape continues to fragment. While Star Trek will live on, its accessibility is changing, and Netflix’s chapter in the franchise’s long history is officially closing.
