When is Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts leaving Netflix?
All three seasons (consisting of 30 episodes) are currently streaming globally on Netflix 26 June 2026.
We’ve been warning you about this removal for quite some time, but now official notice has been posted on Netflix. We’ve covered all the DreamWorks Animation series removals here before, plus we covered it at the beginning of the year, covering over 100 Netflix originals throughout 2026.
As we always remind our readers, Netflix removals occur at exactly midnight Pacific Time on the listed date. This means this will be your last full day of watching the series again and again 25 June 2026.
Why are “Netflix Originals” going away?
If you’re a longtime reader of What’s on Netflix, you’ll know that the “Netflix Original” branding doesn’t mean that Netflix actually owns the property forever. In many cases, this simply means that Netflix has paid for exclusive global streaming rights for a certain period of time.
In this example, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is owned solely by NBCUniversal (the parent company of DreamWorks Animation). Netflix struck a massive, multi-year output deal with DreamWorks in the 2010s, resulting in a golden age of animated originals like Voltron: Legendary Defender, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Trollhunters, and, of course, Kipo.
However, those licensing agreements come with expiration dates. Typically, DreamWorks titles leave Netflix about five to six years after the release of their final season. With the third and final season of Kipo coming to an end in late 2020, time has finally come to an end.
Where will Kipo stream next?
At the time of publishing, the new streaming home has not been officially announced. However, because the show is owned by NBCUniversal, it is highly likely that Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts will eventually reach Peacock in the United States.
Internationally, rights may be sold to local broadcasters or other regional streaming services. If you want to guarantee that you can watch the show in the future, it is currently available to purchase digitally on VOD platforms like Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video.
For now, you have about a month left to enjoy one of the best animated series of 2020 before it leaves Netflix forever.
