Two of the most popular sitcoms among Indian viewers are about to disappear from major streaming platforms. Friends and The Big Bang Theory will stop streaming not only on Netflix India but also on Prime Video India from December 30. This means that after this date, viewers will not have access to these shows on any major streaming service in the country.
For years, both Friends and The Big Bang Theory have been go to comfort shows. Indian audiences have watched them repeatedly, often turning to random episodes for light entertainment. The simple humor, strong friendships, and familiar characters have made these sitcoms timeless. Many people do not binge watch them in one stretch but enjoy them slowly over months or even years.
The news is especially disappointing for viewers who are currently midway through either series. With the same removal date on both Netflix and Prime Video, there is limited time left to finish the remaining episodes. For many fans, these shows are part of their daily routine, making the sudden exit feel personal.
At present, there is no official information about where Friends and The Big Bang Theory will stream next. While it is likely that new licensing deals will be signed and the shows will return on another platform, the details are still unclear. Until then, fans are left without easy access to two of television’s most loved sitcoms.
The exit of both shows at the same time highlights how uncertain streaming libraries can be. For Indian viewers, December 30 becomes the last chance to enjoy Friends and The Big Bang Theory on major platforms before they go offline, at least for now.
