Death Note leaves Netflix on October 15, 2026. The anime adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s manga has been one of the gateway titles for English speaking anime fans for years, and its licensing window on the service is now closing. Netflix has not announced a return, so this looks like a real departure rather than a pause.
The cat and mouse duel between Light Yagami and L holds up episode after episode, and if you have been meaning to finally watch it, the next ten days are the time. Our full take on the series, why it earned its reputation and where the story lands, is on our Death Note page.
