'Friends' to Leave Netflix Cyprus Soon
The Iconic Sitcom Bids Farewell After License Agreement Ends
Netflix subscribers in Greece and Cyprus will soon have to say goodbye to Friends, the beloved sitcom that has captured hearts since childhood. The series will no longer be available on the platform starting December 30, 2024, following a global trend of its removal from Netflix in several countries.
The "leaving soon" tag now appears on the show’s details page, marking December 30, 2024, as the last day viewers can stream the iconic series.
The departure is due to the expiration of its licensing agreement. While Friends narrowly avoided removal in December 2021 through a last-minute renewal, there are no indications this time that a similar extension will occur. The absence of such a deal confirms that the show’s days on Netflix are numbered.
The series has long been one of Netflix’s most popular offerings, making this a significant change for fans in Greece and Cyprus.
