Netflix has confirmed yet another popular show is to be removed from the platform, leaving fans fuming with what they say is “the last straw”. The streaming giant has been having a tough time in recent months; it angered many fans when it cancelled a string of popular shows – including fantasy drama Warrior Nun and the multi-lingual sci-fi 1899 – and subsequently revealed plans to crack down on account sharing.
Netflix has now confirmed yet another popular show will be removed from the platform next month. The company has announced that all five seasons of US sitcom Arrested Development will be pulled on March 15, meaning fans have just weeks to watch it.
The hit comedy follows the dysfunctional and formerly wealthy Bluth family after their patriarch is sent to prison for a series of financial offences – as well as a bit of “light treason”. It is known for its ensemble cast of comedy legends and countless running jokes and catchphrases.
