“How I Met Your Mother” is leaving Netflix U.S. because its limited-term licensing deal with the rights holder (Disney/20th Television, via CBS) is expiring.

When it leaves and where it goes

• In the U.S., all nine seasons are scheduled to leave Netflix on December 3, 2025, after an 18‑month licensing window that began with its June 3, 2024 return.

• The removal is due to the end of Netflix’s license; the series will continue to be available on other platforms like Hulu and Disney+ (depending on your region), which are owned by the same parent company that controls the show.

Background on its comings and goings

• The show originally left Netflix in November 2017 when an earlier licensing deal ended and Hulu became the U.S. streaming home.

• Disney later re‑licensed the series back to Netflix U.S. as part of a broader 2024–2025 content deal, but only for a fixed window that now appears to be ending in December 2025.
