Because it is baby ballroom leaving Netflix?

As we’ve covered numerous times, Netflix Originals doesn’t necessarily mean that Netflix owns the show indefinitely. Instead, this was what we refer to as an acquisition, albeit exclusively.

In recent years, dozens of Netflix Originals have been removed from the platform. That trend will continue even with some of Netflix’s biggest hits like ozark, Orange is the new black and even Lucifer, potentially leaving in the next few years.

Since the show is pretty low profile, we don’t expect any other streaming platform to pick it up, which means it will be impossible to watch in most countries after its removal from Netflix.
