This week has visible lots of comings and goings from the Netflix library internationally however the Nickelodeon collection Victorious had a unmarried season eliminated from Netflix withinside the US on Monday, however why? Let’s take a look.
Nominated for 4 Emmys, the Dan Schneider sitcom starred Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, Leon Thomas III, and Matt Bennett. The Nickelodeon display ran for 4 seasons (despite the fact that the ultimate had been mixed into the 0.33 season) among March 2010 and February 2013.
All 3 seasons arrived on Netflix withinside the US as a part of a slew of Nickelodeon licenses in November 2019. Now, precisely years later, the display has visible the 0.33 season eliminated on November 1st however the first are nevertheless to be had.
So what’s occurring right here? Officially, we don’t recognize however we will speculate primarily based totally on ViacomCBS’s trendy method with Netflix in latest years.
In many instances, we’ve visible ViacomCBS use Netflix as a promotional device for its personal platform. It does this with the aid of using handiest licensing indicates in part whether or not that be licensing handiest more than one seasons of iCarly or including freshman indicates like Evil and The Unicorn withinside the hopes of enhancing their viewership earlier than pulling a 12 months later.
The idea right here is that with the aid of using doing away with season three of Victorious, you’re much more likely to move and join Paramount+ which, you guessed it, is streaming all 3 seasons.
Netflix Internationally Availability Varies Dramatically
Although now no longer each Netflix location consists of Victorious, over 20 areas do consistent with Unogs inclusive of the likes of Canada, the UK, Europe, Latin America, and Asian areas.
With that said, availability of what seasons are to be had are everywhere in the place. While areas like Canada and the UK retain to hold all 3 areas, many handiest consists of the primary season such as 20 episodes.
This highlights ViacomCBS’s scattered method to licensing throughout the globe and brings up the query as to whether or not it’d be higher for Netflix to clearly now no longer bring the display in any respect as opposed to the fragmented availability like they’ve now.
On the brilliant side, you could watch extra of Victoria Justice on Netflix this 12 months with the discharge of the 2021 film Afterlife of the Party in September.
