The Walking Dead Fans, Time’s Almost Up — The 88% RT-Rated Spinoff Is Shambling Off Netflix Soon

If you’ve been putting off binging The Walking Dead’s hit spinoff, it’s time to stop procrastinating — because it’s about to vanish from Netflix. The fan-favorite series, which boasts an impressive 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes, has built a loyal audience thanks to its fresh take on the zombie apocalypse and a tighter, more character-driven storyline. But soon, it will join the growing list of titles leaving the streaming giant.

The spinoff, praised for blending The Walking Dead’s gritty survival horror with new emotional stakes, has been a surprise critical and fan success. It took the familiar world of walkers and human conflict but filtered it through a more focused lens — fewer filler episodes, higher tension, and a pace that kept viewers hooked from start to finish.

The 88% Rotten Tomatoes score reflects not just critic approval, but also the way audiences have embraced the show’s new heroes and complex villains. For longtime TWD fans who felt the flagship series lost some of its bite in later seasons, this spinoff has been a return to form.

However, licensing deals mean Netflix won’t be able to keep it in its catalog forever. Once it leaves the platform, fans will have to turn to other services or purchase the show outright to keep it in their collection. That’s why the clock is ticking — especially for anyone halfway through their binge.

Streaming trends have made this kind of content shuffle more common, but losing such a highly rated installment of The Walking Dead universe still stings. For those who’ve been meaning to watch but keep putting it off, this is the last call before the walkers disappear into the streaming ether.

So grab your popcorn, lock your doors, and hit “Play” before it’s too late. The undead wait for no one — and neither does Netflix.
