The Pearson family will soon have a new home. Heartwrenching NBC drama This Is Us tore at fans’ heartstrings for six seasons. The series came to an end in 2022, but even today, viewers can’t get enough of it. While the show is currently available to stream in full on Hulu, it will also be streaming on Netflix in 2024. TVLine reports that on Jan. 8, This Is Us will be coming to Netflix for the very first time. The show has been streaming exclusively on Hulu, but don’t expect it to leave the Disney-owned streamer in the new year.
The outlet also reports Disney’s new licensing deal with Netflix is on a non-exclusive basis and will last for 18 months per series. This means that whatever show is going to be on Netflix will still be streaming on its current Disney-owned platforms, such as Hulu and Disney+. While This Is Us aired on NBC, the series was produced by 20th Television, which is owned by Disney. This Is Us has been streaming exclusively on Hulu since 2017, with new episodes dropping on the streamer the day after they aired. The show’s jump to Netflix will definitely open up the series to a whole new audience, even almost two years after it ended.
