The start of a new month allows us to look ahead at all the shows and movies getting ready to leave Netflix. Another Arrowverse series is getting ready to depart, as Black Lightning is on the list.
All five seasons are exiting the streaming platform in September. We’re getting closer to all of the shows from the iconic days of The CW leaving Netflix, which means looking around for the new platform — or platforms — they will be on.
When Is ‘Black Lightning’ Leaving Netflix?
Fans have until Aug. 31, 2026, to binge-watch all five seasons of the Cress Williams series. It’s departing at midnight on Sept. 1, 2026.

It’s due to the licensing agreement between The CW and Netflix from the pre-Nexstar days coming to an end. Each show was added to the streaming giant days after season finales aired, and then there was a strict time limit for how long it would remain once a show came to an end.
If you love the Arrowverse, it’s worth checking out Black Lightning. Williams’ titular character did crossover into the rest of the universe during The Flash Season 3 and then in The Flash Season 8, but this was minimal compared to all the other universe shows. It meant that it didn’t feel as integral to the rest of the universe, but it was an excellent series focusing on important social topics with a superhero element to it.
Get Ready for the Rest of the ‘Arrowverse’ To Leave Netflix
Black Lightning isn’t the last of the Arrowverse shows to depart Netflix. Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and The Flash remain on the streaming platform for now.
Supergirl is set to depart in December 2026 due to the ending licensing agreement, so you have some time to catch up and rewatch now. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is scheduled to leave in September 2027, while The Flash will remain on Netflix until 2028. That will mark the end of an era.

After Arrow left Netflix, it found a home at HBO Max, which makes sense as the CW series was produced by Warner Bros. We’re seeing more moves in which companies are taking back their property.
We could see something similar with Black Lightning. This will depend on whether another platform is interested in licensing the property. When Gilmore Girls left Netflix earlier this year, it went straight to Prime Video rather than HBO Max, which everyone expected. We could end up with a situation where different Arrowverse shows are on different platforms, making buying DVDs and Blu-Rays all the more convenient.
