Let's talk about the fate of a beloved show and the streaming wars that ensue. Gilmore Girls, a cozy comfort series that has warmed the hearts of many, is on the move. The question on everyone's mind: where will this mother-daughter duo find their new streaming home?
The Great Migration
Gilmore Girls, which originally aired from 2000 to 2007, is leaving Netflix at the end of June. This announcement has left fans scrambling to find a new platform to continue their Stars Hollow adventures.
Streaming Options
The good news is that Gilmore Girls is not going far. You can find all seven seasons on Hulu, with subscription plans starting at $10.99/month. But if you're looking for an ad-free experience, it'll cost you $18.99/month.
For those who want to explore other streaming options, Disney+ also has the entire series available. Disney+ offers a range of subscription plans, with ad-supported options starting at $11.99/month and ad-free plans at $18.99/month or $189.99/year.
Disney+ Bundles
What makes Disney+ even more appealing is its bundle options. You can subscribe to Disney+, Hulu, and even HBO Max or ESPN+ together, saving over 40% every month. These bundles start at $11.99/month for Disney+ and Hulu with ads and go up to $32.99/month for an ad-free experience across all three services.
A Year in the Life
Now, what about Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, the 2016 limited series? Unfortunately, this continuation of Lorelai and Rory's story is also leaving Netflix at the end of the year. Since Netflix didn't renew its streaming license, the series will be available elsewhere from November 25.
The Future of Gilmore Girls
As for HBO Max, the show isn't currently streaming there. However, given that Warner Bros. produced the series, a move to HBO Max is a possibility in the future. For now, Gilmore Girls fans can rest assured that they can continue their binge-watching on Hulu and Disney+.
Final Thoughts
The streaming landscape is ever-changing, and it's fascinating to see how these platforms compete for our favorite shows. While it's a bummer to see Gilmore Girls leave Netflix, the availability on Hulu and Disney+ ensures that fans can continue to enjoy this beloved series. Personally, I think it's a great opportunity to explore new streaming services and discover other hidden gems along the way.
