Breaking: Netflix will ship its last red DVD envelopes in September, ending 25 years of mailing movies to subscribers

Netflix Inc. will ship its last red DVD envelopes in September, the company said, ending 25 years of mailing shows and movies to subscribers.

The streaming service said in a Tuesday blog post that the mailed DVDs changed how people watch content at home, giving them choice and control over what they watched. Mailed DVDs “paved the way for the shift to streaming,” Netflix’s co-chief executive, Ted Sarandos, said in the blog.

This is sad. But for anyone wanting to continue renting Blu-Rays and even 4K Blu-Rays, I highly recommend GameFly.

Both nostalgic about the end of era and shocked that this was still an option

So sad about the DVDs. We still pay for that service and find films in the library that are not easily available anywhere else. On the plus side, our fee should decrease each month.

Sad 😭

at least those were actual movies .. good luck finding a good one on their library right now..

I’m surprised they are shutting this down. The number of people who still pay for this and don’t even know it even exists is likely in the thousands.

Are they taking bids on the catalog

Damn I gotta watch every movie I want for the rest of my life this summer

This was such a critical cultural part of my teens. Don’t be sad that it’s over, be glad that it happened? 🥺

I'm willing to show 10 lucky people on how to earn 0.49 BTC ($15,000)and more daily. No withdrawal fee You don't get to send funds to anyone Interested? Send a Private Message.

Why is this even news? How many people are still getting DVDs from Netflix?

we weren't aware they still had this as an option! what a relic from the past🫠

The real shame here is that their streaming catalog is vastly inferior to their DVD catalog.

Didn’t realize they were still doing it

What’s a “DVD”?

They’re still doing this?
