Buffy might be leaving Netflix in April, but you can still nostalgia-binge it. Here’s how.

Friday, March 10, is the 20th anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And exactly three weeks later — Friday, March 31 — is reportedly the last day Buffy and its spinoff Angel will be available to stream on Netflix.

I know: You just got hit with all of the nostalgic binge-watch-inducing content the internet could throw at you, and now this? How dare they?

To be clear, it’s not entirely certain that Buffy will leave Netflix at the end of March. What we know for sure is that Netflix’s current license to stream Buffy in the US is about to expire, and the company hasn’t yet announced any plans to renew it. That doesn’t mean it won’t renew their license before the month is out — but Netflix has dropped Buffy from its streaming platforms in other countries, so it’s not out of the question, either.

Fortunately, there are other ways for you to relive all of the quips, heartbreak, and unfortunate ’90s fashion. Here’s how you can keep watching Buffy if it leaves Netflix:

• Every episode of both Buffy and Angel is available to stream on Hulu, if you have a subscription.
• Digital downloads are available for purchase on both Amazon and iTunes.
• And if you’re a fan of having hard copy, the complete DVD boxset is well worth buying: there are multiple — and excellent — episode commentaries from showrunner Joss Whedon and other writers, and in-depth interviews galore.

Go forth and binge.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
