You may want to adjust your binge watching plans. That’s because this week is the last you can watch The Office on Netflix. As of today, December 29, you have three days to hang out with Jim, Pam, Dwight, Angela, and of course Michael Scott himself.
How much of The Office can you watch before one of the most beloved comedies on television leaves Netflix? And where is it going after December 31? You have questions and we have answers. Here’s everything you need to know.
When Is The Office Leaving Netflix?
In case you needed another reason to hate 2020, this year is taking Dunder Mifflin away from the most popular streaming service around. All episodes of The Office are scheduled to leave Netflix by the end of Thursday, December 31. After that day Peacock will be the exclusive streaming home to all things paper and paper supply related.
What Time Is The Office Leaving Netflix?
You’ll have until 11:59/10:59c p.m. on December 31 to watch The Office on Netflix. That’s because as soon as it becomes 2021, The Office is going to Peacock.
How Can I Watch The Office After It Leaves Netflix?
Welcome to the world of Peacock, NBC’s recently launched streaming service. All nine seasons and 201 episodes of The Office will live on Peacock throughout 2021. But that’s not all. Peacock will also offer curated themed episode collections, behind-the-scenes footage, superfan extended cuts of certain episodes, playlists of some of the show’s best moments, and The Office Zen. The latter is a 24/7 channel of ambient sights and sounds that will make your home office feel like a typical American workplace.
How to Watch The Office on Peacock
There’s no other way around it. If you want to watch The Office in 2021, you’re going to need Peacock. Fortunately, there is a free option. By signing up for a Peacock account you’re automatically eligible for Peacock’s free tier without entering any credit card information. Unfortunately, that free option won’t give you full access to Jim’s many pranks on Dwight or Angela’s cats.
Only the first two seasons will be available to watch for free. And we all know that Seasons 3 through 5 are where things get good. To gain access to all episodes of The Office as well as all of that superfan content, you’re going to need Peacock Premium. Plans start at $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year. If you’re willing to pay but hate the ads that come with Peacock Premium, there’s an option for you too. Peacock Premium Plus is an ad-free option that costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year.
How Much of The Office Can I Watch Before It Leaves Netflix?
Altogether there are 99 hours in The Office. As of today, December 29, at 11 a.m. ET, there are only 61 hours left in 2020. That means you don’t have time for a full rewatch, but you definitely have time to catch your favorite episodes. If you play your cards right, you may even have enough time to watch the entire series again before Michael leaves. After all, it just doesn’t work without Michael. That’s what she said.
