The End of the F***ing World leaves Netflix on November 5

The dark comedy about James and Alyssa leaves Netflix on November 5, 2026 as its licensing window closes, with both seasons on the chopping block.

The End of the F***ing World leaves Netflix on November 5, 2026. The dark comedy about James, a self styled teenage psychopath, and his runaway girlfriend Alyssa has been a fan favorite on the service since it landed, and its licensing window is now closing. Netflix has not announced a return, so treat this as a real goodbye rather than a pause.

Two seasons is all there is, and both are worth the twelve episode commitment: the first is close to perfect, funny and brutal in equal measure. If you have never seen it, you have under four weeks. Our full take on the series, and why the ending of the second season divided people, is on our The End of the F***ing World page.
