Band of Brothersis losing its streaming home in a devastating move, with not much time left before the war miniseries is no longer available. Considered one of thebest historical TV showsever produced,Band of Brothersdramatizes the real-world events of Easy Company’s time in World War II. The show was co-created by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.
The 2001 series received universal acclaim upon release, winning seven of the 20 Emmy Awards it was nominated for. Critically, the ensemblecast ofBand of Brotherswas praised for their realistic performances, while the crew was lauded for never shying away from the realities of war. At present, it’s often considered one of the best TV shows ever made.
However, Netflix has revealed thatBand of Brotherswill be leaving the streaming platform on Sunday, September 14, with all 10 episodes of the miniseries departing on that day. This is a devastating blow to the acclaimed series, which will no longer be viewable on the streaming platform despite its historical importance in more ways than one.
What Band Of Brothers Leaving Netflix Means For The Show’s Streaming Future
Given that it’s considered one of thebest war TV showsof all time,Band of Brothersis a worthwhile watch, based on both its critical reception and award-winning history. However, it will become more difficult to see once it leaves Netflix, considering the streaming behemoth has afforded it the largest streaming platform it’s ever been available on.
Band of Brothersalso has two companion miniseries,The Pacificfrom 2010 andMasters of the Airfrom 2024.
Luckily, the series isn’t leaving streaming itself forever.Band of Brothersis still available to watch on HBO Max, since the miniseries was produced by HBO in 2001. While this means the show leaving Netflix won’t entirely remove it from every streaming option, it does add another subscription for those looking to see the series in the future.
Our Take On Band Of Brothers Leaving Netflix
WhileBand of Brotherswill still be on HBO Max after leaving Netflix, it still stings for such an acclaimed drama to be removed from its biggest platform. Luckily, there’s still about a month before the show leaves, plenty of time for anyone who hasn’t watched it. Even without binging, watching the 10-episode drama is still doable before it leaves.
Even so, it’s still saddening thatBand of Brothers' streaming reach will soon be hindered by its Netflix removal. It may still be available on HBO Max, but by leaving the more popular platform, it means fewer eyes will be on the incredible war miniseries. The show will still be available for a while, even though time is running out.
