You must be new here if you are wondering why a Netflix original series is leaving the service. In recent years, we’ve been cataloging a wave of Netflix removals that are branded as Netflix Original.

It all comes down to ultimate ownership and what exactly is a Netflix Original. In this case, Netflix Original implies that Netflix has exclusive distribution rights for a fixed period of time, and those rights have now come to an end. It’s confusing, but welcome to streaming in the 2020s!

As mentioned above, Cuckoo It is not scheduled to leave Netflix in the UK, although it will within the next year.

We currently hear that Netflix UK retains control of Cuckoo until January 4, 2024. Of course, Cuckoo it is already broadcast in another location in the UK, with all five seasons available on BBC iPlayer.
