Marvel Television shows will soon depart Netflix after the last season of Jessica Jones airs and it looks as if the live-action DC superhero shows will soon follow suit.  

According to Kevin Reilly, Chief Creative Officer at Turner Entertainment and President of TBS & TNT (AT&T's WarnerMedia owns TNT and TBS), WB's upcoming streaming platform, which will exist outside of HBOGo and DC Universe, will soon become the streaming home of The CW's Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and the rest of the shows that make up the Arrowverse.  

WB's unnamed streaming platform, which is currently without a launch date, will be a direct competitor to Disney+. It's rumored, but unconfirmed that both HBOGo and DC Universe will eventually be absorbed by the new streaming service.

Per Variety, the streaming service will launch sometime in 2019 but will not have any original shows or films until 2020.

It should be noted that the Marvel shows leaving and the DC shows leaving are not the same thing. Netflix canceled its Marvel series; the Arrowverse shows are leaving on their own accord for another platform. Also, SHIELD still releases seasons on Netflix and I haven't heard any word of that ending soon.

Also, while Jessica Jones is almost certainly done on Netflix after a third season, that news isn't official. Just saying...

Makes sense. Why pay to go through an outside broadcasting service when you can charge audiences to stream from your own platform.

If they change the Arrowverse's home, could they maybe forget to give Felicity the new address?

@Asturgis - the Arrowverse's home isn't changing though. ITs not like they are leaving the CW.

What greedy bastards. They already have HBO NOW and DC Universe. Now they wanna add a third streaming service to overcrowd the market? Corporate greed at its finest.

Wouldn't it make more sense to put it on the DC streaming service.

This is odd. Why not put it on the DC streaming service then absorb all of them at the same time?

Really? How many streaming services do we need to get before someone admits there's too much?
