2025 is in full swing, and the end of a month brings both a new one and yet another shakeup in the Netflix library. As the service that arguably paved the way for the streaming wars that have defined modern pop culture, Netflix made a name for itself by offering something for seemingly everybody.

As such, whether you’re a child (or a brony), a fan of Korean television, or you just want a silly sitcom to unwind with, we’re rounding up the best shows leaving Netflix over the course of February. Buckle up and schedule your binging — this may be your last chance to stream these series for a while.

'My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic' (Seasons 1-4) Leaving Netflix on February 1

For years, onlookers believed that children’s cartoons based on toy lines were a phenomenon exclusive to the ‘80s, but My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic...

Like most of us, you’ve probably lost count of how many titles have been axed from the HBO Max catalog. Earlier this week alone, over 30 titles met a bitter end, and among them is animated series Little Ellen. Understandably, the series’ co-creator Jennifer Skelly wasn’t happy at all with the decision, and she spoke to Variety about it in an exclusive interview.

“Little Ellen” co-creator Jennifer Skelly found out her show would be removed from HBO Max earlier this month by reading the news. These past few days, she’s witnessed dozens of other series meet the chopping block as Warner Bros. Discovery purges the HBO streaming platform in order to reduce costs.

Not only are the first two seasons of the animated show, centered around a young Ellen DeGeneres, gone from HBO Max. In addition, 20 fully completed, unreleased episodes — comprising the next two seasons — will never be released.

“It’s really devastating,” Skelly tells Variety. “I’ve worked on a million things that have never seen the light of day, but it’s pretty rare that you get this far down the pipe — it’s literally done — and it’s still not going to see the light of day.”

Shortly before the 10-episode Season 3 of “Little Ellen” was set for release...

HBO Max has signed daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to a four-series deal.

The upcoming streaming service from WarnerMedia has given a straight-to-series pickup for three of DeGeneres’ shows, with a fourth one in development. The three series ordered already are: “Ellen’s Home Design Challenge,” “First Dates Hotel” and “Little Ellen.” The docu-series “Finding Einstein” is the one in development.

“Ellen is a singular talent, and a powerhouse, creative triple-threat that we are lucky to have now bringing her talents to bear on behalf of HBO Max,” said Kevin Reilly, Chief Content Officer, HBO Max and president, TNT, TBS, and truTV. “Ellen’s flair for home design and matchmaking will most certainly inspire and delight – but HBO Max is full service, so as not to leave the kids out she’s bringing them back to the hilarious misadventures of her childhood in an imaginative animated series.”

Ellen Degeneres is one of the biggest TV names on WarnerMedia’s talent roster, and the company’s upcoming streaming platform HBO Max is getting in business with her in a big way.

The streamer has teamed with DeGeneres and her A Very Good Production on four new original series. HBO Max has given straight-to-series orders to the unscripted Ellen’s Home Design Challenge, a home design competition show; and First Dates Hotel, a matchmaking series based on the hit UK format; as well as to animated children’s series Little Ellen, centered on DeGeneres as a child.

Additionally, HBO Max, set to launch in spring of 2020, has put in development Finding Einstein, a docuseries which seeks to find a new generation of Einsteins who are motivated to change the world for the better.

DeGeneres announced the deal today on her The Ellen DeGeneres Show, along with a free two-year...

Ellen DeGeneres is substantially expanding her producing portfolio.

The multi-hyphenate, who signed a three-year extension to her daytime hosting gig earlier this year, is behind four new shows coming to HBO Max, three of which have been handed straight-to-series orders, and one of which has been put in development.

DeGeneres announced the pickups on her talk show and, in typical Ellen fashion, also surprised her audience with a two-year HBO Max subscription in celebration of the news. The three series orders in question are for design competition show “Ellen’s Home Design Challenge,” dating show “First Dates Hotel,” and 2D animated children’s series “Little Ellen.” The show in development is a docu-series titled “Finding Einstein.”

“I’m very excited to bring my new shows to HBO Max. I don’t know who Max is, but I can’t wait to work with him,” DeGeneres joked.

All four series come...
