Just found your next binge? Better hurry. Spartacus and Nashville are both leaving Netflix US on September 15, 2026 — barely a year after they arrived. It’s the clearest sign yet that Netflix’s newest licensing deals come with a ticking clock.

The Countdown Is On
Both shows carry the same deadline: your last day to stream is September 14, with removal hitting at midnight. That’s it — no extensions, no grace period.
Spartacus: Back For Barely a Year
The blood-soaked Starz epic returned to Netflix last fall after more than five years away, bringing the full saga — Blood and Sand, Gods of the Arena, Vengeance, and War of the Damned. It performed strongly too, pulling in an impressive number of hours watched across its comeback run. Despite the momentum, Lionsgate/Starz reportedly only granted a strict 12-month license.
Nashville: Gone After Its First-Ever Netflix Run
This one stings more. Nashville — the Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere-led country music drama that ran six seasons on ABC and CMT — had never streamed on Netflix US before last year. It quietly became a sleeper hit, racking up strong viewing hours, only to now face the exact same one-year exit.
Spartacus : Overview
| Show | Last Day to Watch | Seasons | Original Network |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spartacus | Sept 14, 2026 | 4 | Starz |
| Nashville | Sept 14, 2026 | 6 | ABC / CMT |
Why This Keeps Happening
Netflix has been aggressively licensing titles from Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Lionsgate, and Paramount — but many of these newer deals run just 12 months instead of the multi-year lock-ins of the 2010s. If a licensed show catches your eye now, the smart move is to watch it soon rather than assume it’ll stick around, a shift tied to the broader economics of the modern streaming media landscape.
