10 popular TV shows that are in danger of leaving Netflix, including 'The Office'

9. "NCIS"

9. "NCIS"

Original network: CBS

Netflix competitor: CBS All Access

Streaming plans: "NCIS" is currently available on CBS All Access, CBS' streaming service that includes exclusive original content and CBS' library.

8. "Supernatural"

8. "Supernatural"

Original network: The CW

Netflix competitor: CBS All Access and WarnerMedia's upcoming streaming service (beta at end of 2019)

Streaming plans: The CW is owned by CBS and WarnerMedia. The former already has its own streaming platform, CBS All Access, and the latter is planning to launch its own service, as well. The Verge reported in May that The CW doesn't plan to renew its contract with Netflix this year, but the shows that are currently on the service — including "Supernatural" — are safe.

7. "That '70s Show"

7. "That

Original network: Fox

Netflix competitor: Hulu and upcoming Disney Plus (November 12)

Streaming plans: The Fox network is owned by Disney, which also controls Hulu. Disney ended a licensing deal with Netflix this year, and is launching a streaming platform, Disney Plus, in November. Does that mean "That '70s Show" could be in danger? If so, it's possible it could head to Hulu, which seems a more likely home than the family-friendly Disney Plus.

6. "Criminal Minds"

6. "Criminal Minds"

Original network: CBS

Netflix competitor: CBS All Access

Streaming plans: "Criminal Minds" is also available on CBS All Access.

5. "New Girl"

5. "New Girl"

Original network: Fox

Netflix competitor: Hulu and upcoming Disney Plus (November 12)

Streaming plans: Fox is owned by Disney. If Disney were to pull Fox content from Netflix, it would likely head for Hulu, which Disney controls.

4. "Grey's Anatomy"

4. "Grey

Original network: ABC

Netflix competitor: Hulu and upcoming Disney Plus (November 12)

Streaming plans: Disney owns the ABC network. If Disney pulls all of its content from Netflix, "Grey's Anatomy" is also streaming on Hulu, which Disney controls.

3. "Parks and Recreation"

3. "Parks and Recreation"

Original network: NBC

Netflix competitor: NBCUniversal's upcoming streaming service (2020)

Streaming plans: With NBC pulling "The Office," it wouldn't be shocking for it to also pull "Parks and Rec" to fuel its own streaming service. But "Parks and Rec" also streams on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. Business Insider has reached out to NBCUniversal for comment on the nature of these deals and the show's future.

2. "Friends"

2. "Friends"

Original network: NBC

Netflix competitor: WarnerMedia's upcoming streaming service (beta at end of 2019)

Streaming plans: "Friends" is owned by Warner Bros. Its parent company, AT&T, plans to launch its own streaming platform, so the likelihood of "Friends" staying with Netflix for much longer is slim. Fans can stream the show for now, though: Netflix and AT&T struck a deal to keep "Friends" on Netflix through 2019, and Netflix paid up to $100 million for the rights.

1. "The Office"

1. "The Office"

Original network: NBC

Netflix competitor: NBCUniversal's upcoming streaming service (2020)

Streaming plans: NBC and Netflix announced on Tuesday that NBC will pull "The Office" from Netflix in 2021 for its own streaming service. NBCUniversal is paying $500 million ($100 million per year for five years) to keep the rights, according to CNBC.
