Pride & Prejudice revolves around the life of a feisty and sensible woman named Elizabeth Bennet. Her life ends up taking an interesting turn when she crosses paths with the wealthy and arrogant Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. While the film is currently streaming on Netflix, it will exit soon. So, when and why is Pride & Prejudice leaving Netflix?
Here is everything you need to know about the departure of the popular romantic drama from the streaming platform.
Why is Pride & Prejudice leaving Netflix, and when?
Pride & Prejudice is leaving Netflix on May 31, 2025, due to the expiry of the license on the streaming platform.
For the unversed, the film is not a Netflix original. Additionally, the film’s license is now nearing its end. Netflix allows licenses for films to stream on its platform for a limited period of time. If any film begins displaying its removal date, it means the license of the film is about to expire. Pride & Prejudice is facing a similar trajectory, with its license about to expire soon. Netflix has already started showing its last day as May 31, 2025.
Netflix can also renew licenses for titles, but it is mostly a rare case. In recent times, many titles have been taken off Netflix due to similar reasons. Annie (2014), Blade Runner: The Final Cut (1982), Spider-Man’s first three parts, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), and many others were removed on May 1, 2025. (via What’s on Netflix)
While Pride & Prejudice is leaving Netflix in 17 days, fans can easily catch the film on other online platforms. Aside from Netflix, the romantic comedy is also available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. For the unaware, Prime Video also offers a 30-day free trial for its new subscribers. After the free trial comes to an end, fans need to buy the platform’s subscription to continue watching their favorite content.
However, the film is produced by Universal. As such, Pride & Prejudice might go to Peacock or some other streaming platform if someone pays for its license.
