Netflix subscribers furious over removal of 'New Girl' from streaming platform

New Girl is a comedy series that follows the adventures of Jess Day, a quirky and optimistic woman who moves in with three men after a messy breakup.

The show explores the friendship, romance, and hilarity that ensues as Jess and her new roommates navigate their lives in Los Angeles.

New Girl was nominated for five Primetime Emmy Awards and won 11 other awards. It also gained a loyal fan base and a cult following.

So, it’s no surprise that its removal from Netflix received a backlash from its fans (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).

Netflix announced that ‘New Girl’ will be leaving the platform on April 9, 2023, after nearly 10 years of streaming. The show will move to Hulu and Peacock in the US, and Disney+ in the UK, on April 17, 2023.

This means that fans will have to wait for eight days before they can binge-watch the show again on another service.

Some fans expressed their disappointment and sadness on social media, saying that they will miss watching ‘New Girl’ on Netflix and that they are not ready to say goodbye to the characters.

While others said that they will switch to another streaming service to continue watching the series.

Zooey, Hannah, and Lamorne even have a podcast where they rewatch episode by episode and discuss all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans. So you can catch them there.

With this departure, Netflix’s 20th Century Fox / 20th Television catalog will be down to four titles: Seven Seconds (2018), Hoops (2020), The Politician (2020), and Ratched (2020).

‘New Girl’ is a beloved sitcom that has entertained and inspired millions of viewers around the world. So, Netflix subscribers are hoping that the show will return to the platform someday.
