Everything Leaving Netflix In December 2020, Including 'Gossip Girl' & 'The Office'

Brace Yourselves: 'Gossip Girl' & 'The Office' Are Leaving Netflix In December

Hey there, Upper East Siders, it looks like the holidays are bringing bad news for Gossip Girl fans. There are a lot of nostalgic faves leaving Netflix in December 2020, including Gossip Girl and The Office, which isn't ideal timing, considering everyone's stuck indoors due to the cold weather and coronavirus safety concerns. In addition to those two hits, even more shows and films are peacing out at the end of the year, so now's the time to memorize every line before it's too late.

While fans knew The Office was set to leave Netflix by 2021, it doesn't mean viewers are happy about it. Back in June 2019, Netflix tweeted that the sitcom was going to leave despite offering to pay $90 million per year to keep the show on its platform. While the show is simply moving to Peacock (NBC's new streaming service), it's still less than ideal for those who don't want to commit to yet another subscription service.

The real blow, however, is Gossip Girl. The CW classic that made household names out of Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, and Ed Westwick is going to leave Netflix on Dec. 31. Still, with the Gossip Girl sequel series slated to premiere on HBO Max sometime in 2021, there's a chance the original series will also make HBO Max its new home sometime soon.
