This Is Probably Why 'Parks and Rec' Has Left Netflix

If you might be questioning why 'Parks and Recreation' has left Netflix (officially beginning October 1, you won't be able to flow it), here is an evidence.

Starting as of late, October 1, we will be unable to circulation Parks and Recreation on Netflix anymore. That's right. No more Leslie Knope's hilarious righteousness and love of waffles. No more shenanigans from Andy and April. No more Ron Swanson in all his no-nonsense glory. At least, now not on Netflix. We've identified that Parks and Rec would be leaving Netflix for about a yr, however it does not make this loss sting any less. And before you ask, yes, Parks and Rec is also leaving Hulu and Amazon Prime. Before you name Burt Macklin, FBI, here is what you wish to have to know.

Why is Parks and Rec Leaving Netflix?

The NBC show now lives on Peacock, NBCUniversal's streaming service, so it makes sense why they'd no longer want to license Parks and Rec to Netflix (or Hulu and Amazon). Not wanting to compete with itself, NBC most probably made it not possible for Netflix to flow Parks and Rec (even if it is unclear whether the network's contract simply ended, or they made it extraordinarily dear to license). The good news is that you can still watch the show totally free — you just want to enroll in Peacock's free tier service, which has ads. Season 1-7 will have to be to be had for you, so it's not all doom and gloom.

Want to watch Parks and Rec ad-free? Unfortunately, you will have to pay for that. You can purchase all of the seasons on Amazon, Vudu, Apple TV, Google Play, Fandango Now, and the Microsoft Store. Additionally, you'll watch Parks and Rec when you have Hulu Live TV. You can also probably in finding DVDs in individual at Target, Walmart, and Best Buy. If you do end up caving and short of to buy a subscription to Peacock, it is going to handiest set you again $4.99 (with ads, simply not as many as the unfastened tier), and $9.99, ad-free. 

Frustratingly, it looks as if that's where streaming is headed. Shows like M*A*S*H, The Andy Griffith Show, and 30 Rock have already left Netflix, and The Office is scheduled to leave the platform January 2021 (that is in fact lovely soon — best three months away!). Fans of Mad Men have been extraordinarily disillusioned when they realized the AMC show wouldn't be available after June, as the licensing contract between Lionsgate and Netflix expired this 12 months (you'll, on the other hand, watch the entire episodes on Amazon, you'll just have to sit down thru ads).

Contracts are repeatedly expiring, which means displays might be tossed round from one platform to the following. In the case of Parks and Rec, The Office, and 30 Rock (which can be all NBC shows), they are going to will just be available on their very own native streaming platform, aka, Peacock. It simply  forces us to pay for each particular person streaming platform, which, unfortunately sufficient, finally ends up from time to time being dearer than regular 'ole cable. 

The response to Parks and Rec leaving Netflix on Twitter has been intense.

After all, we have handled sufficient dangerous news in 2020. We knew Parks and Rec would depart Netflix in the future, however it does not assist that it happened during a deadly disease, of all occasions. Twitter's response is lovely spot on.

Leslie Knope summed it up absolute best when she said, "Everything hurts and I'm dying." Fare thee smartly, Pawnee.
