Fans of “Jane the Virgin” are in for a shock! The beloved comedy-drama series is set to leave Netflix on September 6, 2024. This unexpected move has left many viewers scrambling to binge-watch their favorite episodes before the show disappears from the streaming giant.
Why is “Jane the Virgin” Leaving Netflix? The departure is due to the expiration of a long-standing deal between Netflix and The CW, which originally brought the series to the platform. The agreement, first signed in 2011 and renewed in 2016, ensured that Netflix would stream CW shows shortly after their TV run. However, the deal ended in 2019, and the five-year streaming commitment for “Jane the Virgin” has now lapsed.
What’s Next for “Jane the Virgin”? While the show will no longer be available on Netflix, it’s not disappearing entirely. Fans can still purchase digital copies on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. As for its next streaming home, there’s speculation that it might land on either Paramount+ or Max, given the series’ production ties to CBS Studios and Warner Bros. Television.
Public Reaction: The news has sparked a wave of reactions on social media. One fan tweeted, “They’re taking ‘Jane the Virgin’ off Netflix I should just die,” while another wrote, “Netflix you raggedy b*tch if you take ‘Jane the Virgin’ off I’m canceling my subscription”. The outpouring of frustration highlights just how much the series means to its audience.
