The acclaimed animated superhero series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is set to leave Netflix on February 21, marking another high-profile removal amid the streamer’s ongoing content licensing adjustments. Produced by DreamWorks Animation Television, the series debuted in 2018 as a modern reimagining of the 1985 Filmation classic She-Ra: Princess of Power, itself a spin-off of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

The reboot earned widespread praise for its storytelling and character development, following Adora, a young soldier raised by the villainous Horde under the command of Hordak. After discovering a magical sword, Adora transforms into the legendary warrior She-Ra and begins a journey that challenges both her past and her loyalties. The series featured a strong voice cast led by Aimee Carrero, alongside A.J. Michalka, Karen Fukuhara, Marcus Scribner, and Lorraine Toussaint.

Critically, the show proved to be a standout. It holds a 96 percent critics’ score and an 84 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviewers frequently highlighting its emotional depth and inclusive storytelling. The series was particularly recognized for its diverse characters and queer representation, earning multiple industry honors, including a GLAAD Media Award nomination in 2019 and a GLAAD Media Award win in 2021.

The departure of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power comes as part of Netflix’s broader February content purge, which includes the removal of several other Netflix-branded originals as well as licensed films and series. Titles exiting the platform during the same period reportedly include Rebellion, Paris Is Us, The Big Family Cooking Showdown, and a number of high-profile feature films.

Series creator ND Stevenson addressed the removal in a post on X, explaining that Netflix served as the show’s exclusive distributor rather than the rights holder. Stevenson noted that the expiration of the licensing agreement was known internally for some time and expressed disappointment that years of creative work would temporarily lose a streaming home. He encouraged fans to revisit the series before its departure and expressed hope that it may resurface on another platform or receive a complete physical release in the future.

The series now joins other DreamWorks Animation titles that have exited Netflix following the conclusion of fixed-term deals, underscoring the fragility of long-term availability even for critically acclaimed streaming originals.
