Two Pokémon series are leaving Netflix in the US in March 2024, with both two seasons of the main Pokemon anime series set to leave the service in full.
In case you weren’t aware, the main Pokémon series has been running since the late 1990s, and like Power Rangers, each season is labeled with a different season name.
Here’s a rundown of the two shows leaving:
- Pokémon Journeys (Season 23) was released over the course of 4 parts between June 2020 and March 2021. 48 episodes in total.
- Pokémon: Master Journeys (Season 24) was released over the course of three parts between September 2021 and May 2022. 42 episodes in total.
Both titles are now displaying “Last day to watch on Netflix” notifications listed for March 4th with the actual day of removal scheduled being March 5th.
Removal date for Pokemon Master Journeys: The Series in the Netflix UI
Netflix continues to be the home of Pokémon despite these removals. Horizons (Season 26), originally scheduled for release in February, will begin rolling out in March 2024.
The removals also coincide roughly two years following the last big batch of Pokemon titles leaving Netflix in 2022. Then, we saw Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!, Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us, and Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon depart on April 1st.
Will Pokemon Ultimate Journeys and other Pokemon movies/shows leave Netflix?
Pokémon Ultimate Journeys and Pokémon To Be A Pokemon Master will also leave Netflix in 2024, but not until later in the year. Our intel currently suggests that both of those are scheduled for departure in the back half of the year, in or around September 8th, 2024.
Netflix US will keep its other library of other Pokemon titles for the foreseeable including:
- Pokémon Indigo League through to November 2025
- Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles is licensed through 2027
- Pokémon The Movie: Secrets of the Jungle is licensed through 2028
- Pokémon Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution is licensed through 2030
Finally, the recently released stop-motion series Pokemon: Concierge is a permanent fixture of the Netflix library and won’t depart.
