'Sex and the City' leaving Netflix: What to know

In mid-2023, HBO granted approval to license some of its most popular titles to Netflix. First up was Issa Rae's Insecure, followed by Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief, Ballers, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Six Feet Under and Sex and the City.

"At the time, it wasn't announced how long the license was going to be, but we now know that each title was licensed on a 24-month (2-year) basis, and those departures begin in July 2025, starting with Issa Rae's comedy series Insecure," said Moore in June 2025.

Sex and the City came to Netflix on April 1, 2024 and will leave the service almost 27 months to the day of its arrival.

'Sex and the City' remains celebrated

Created by Darren Star and based on Candace Bushnell's mid-1990s newspaper column for the New York Observer, Sex and the City premiered on HBO on June 6, 1998 and ran for six seasons through February 2024.

The hit romantic comedy/drama, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristen Davis and Cynthia Nixon, eventually spawned two movies, a prequel series and a sequel series.

Overall, Sex and the City won seven Primetime Emmys, eight Golden Globes, three Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Satellite Awards. The show was ranked sixth on Variety's 2023 list of "The 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time" and cracked the top 40 of the Writers Guild of America's "101 Best Written TV Series" rankings.

Even with Sex and the City leaving Netflix, Carrie Bradshaw fans can get their fix on HBO Max, or through HBO Max subscriptions on other streaming platforms.
