Shows You Can Now Watch FREE (After They Left Netflix)
Here’s the plot twist nobody expects: some shows get cheaper after Netflix drops them. Instead of moving to another paid service, they land on free, ad-supported platforms like Tubi, Pluto TV, The Roku Channel and Freevee.
You’ll sit through a few ad breaks, but you’ll pay exactly nothing. These are the best watch-for-free finds among shows that have left Netflix.

Frequently asked
Are these services really free?
Yes - Tubi, Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, Freevee and similar services are funded by ads, not subscriptions. You may need a free account, but there’s no charge to watch.
Are the free services available in my country?
Availability varies. Most of the big free services are US-first, with some in the UK, Canada and Australia. If one isn’t in your region, a VPN to a country where it streams will get you in.
