Netflix Is Getting Rid Of Its DVD Service, Reveals Final Date It Will Be Shipping Out Discs

Netflix DVD disc holder

Netflix streaming has changed everything in Hollywood – even other streamers. Over the years, Netflix went from being a DVD-mailing service to one of the largest online movie and TV viewing platforms in the world, and now going forward, it's only going to be one of those things. The company has announced that it is going to send out its final DVDs by the end of 2023.

CEO Ted Sarandos announced today that after 25 years, Netflix will be shuttering its Blu-ray and DVD rental service in the coming months. As for when the final discs will go out, people will have until September 29 of this year to receive a disc. Of course, that has me wondering what the streamer will do to subscribers if they don't return those rentals. I guess we'll find out when the time comes (although I'd warn all users hoping to score a bunch of discs that Netflix does have your payment information on file).
