However,a recent deal between Disney Entertainment and Netflixsaw the licensing of 14 different in-demand TV shows,includingLOST, to Netflix until the summer of 2025, returning one of the most prominent jewels of television to Netflix’s crown. As of now,LOSTwill remain streamable on both Hulu and Disney+.
The deal between Netflix and the House of Mouse will also allow Netflix to stream much-coveted shows such asThis Is Us,Archer,How I Met Your Mother,White Collar,The Resident, andGrey’s Anatomy. It remains to be seen whether any more content licensing deals will be announced between Netflix and Disney+ — as well as whether Netflix will somehow find a way to keepLOSTon its platform past its summer 2025 expiration date.
