Every month, Netflix orchestrates a careful dance behind the scenes, retiring even beloved titles to free space for fresh stories. Some departures sting, leaving devoted fans disappointed and nostalgic. Yet this vault-cleaning is deliberate, a way to sharpen the catalog, making room for bold premieres that demand attention. The old fades, the new rises, each removal a subtle hint of the next big phenomenon waiting just around the corner. Netflix does not merely stream content; it curates anticipation, shaping what will capture imagination next.

In that process, a major title is set to leave Netflix soon, leaving only days to catch it before it disappears.

How I Met Your Mother (Seasons 1-9) is set to leave Netflix on December 3rd, giving only six days to watch it before its exit. After its departure, the series will still be available for streaming on Hulu and Netflix Standard with Ads, or for purchase as a download on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango At Home. For collectors, physical copies can be obtained on DVD from Barnes & Noble and Amazon, or on Blu-ray from Amazon. No free streaming options exist at this time, making timely viewing essential.

For those planning to watch before it leaves, How I Met Your Mother follows Ted Mosby as he recounts his young life in New York City to his children, Luke and Penny. He shares adventures with friends Marshall and Lily, a devoted couple, and the charming, mischievous Barney Stinson. Canadian journalist Robin Scherbatsky adds excitement to their stories. Through twists, heartbreaks, laughter, and wild escapades, Ted narrates the chaos and joy of youth, ultimately leading to the woman who becomes the mother of his children. With its departure, it joins several other shows leaving Netflix this December.
