Key Points
Gilmore Girls is leaving Netfilx after 12 years on the streaming platform.
The seven-season series is still available to stream on Hulu and Disney+.
A production of Warner Bros. Television, Gilmore Girls may soon be heading to HBO Max, which is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.
In the immortal words of Lorelai Gilmore, “We’re almost there and nowhere near it. All that matters is that we’re going.”
Nearly two decades since Gilmore Girls wrapped its run on TV, 12 since it found a seemingly stable streaming home on Netflix, and 10 since the streamer premiered the revival miniseries, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, the beloved series is going again. And this time, the destination is not clear.
Netflix announced on Monday that the series will no longer be available to stream come June 30. “It’s a show? It’s a lifestyle. It’s a religion,” the streamer’s X post began, quoting some memorable season 1 dialogue referring to The Donna Reed Show. “We are sorry to say that Gilmore Girls Seasons 1-7 will be leaving Netflix in the US on June 30. Raising a cup of coffee to every fan who visited Stars Hollow with us.”
It’s the end of an era not just for Gilmore Girls, but Netflix, too. The beloved mother-daughter, small-town dramedy, which aired for seven seasons on The WB (including one under the new moniker of The CW, if we’re being precise), first arrived on the platform in 2014.
Two years later, Netflix debuted the somewhat controversial revival miniseries, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Though the series is still available to stream on Hulu and Disney+, only Netflix has boasted both the O.G. and its follow-up over all these years, as Hulu only picked up the series for streaming in 2024.
Gilmore Girls also regularly appeared among Netflix’s most streamed series, original and acquired alike, with the series shooting back into the Nielsen’s top 10 most-streamed across platforms as recently as October.

Speculation that the series might soon be departing Netflix kicked off last week, when third-party Netflix tracking sites like Unogs and NewonNetflix.info both reported that Gilmore Girls‘ final date to stream was listed as July 1, 2026.
Though the series is leaving its longtime streaming home, international subscribers will still be able to watch the show on Netflix, the streamer told What’s on Netflix on Monday.

Now, a new crop of speculation is ready for harvest.
Gilmore Girls was produced by Warner Bros. Television. WBTV’s streaming home is HBO Max, as Warner Bros. and HBO have long been joined at the hip, as a result of a 1990 merger. So far, there’s no indication that the series will join the HBO Max lineup, but even A Year in the Life was a co-production of Netflix and WBTV.
EW has reached out to representatives for HBO and WBTV for comment.
