The TV show is back on Netflix after being taken off for almost four years.
Netflix just added a cool show to its lineup. It’s called Royal Pains, and you can now binge-watch all eight seasons on Netflix in the U.S. The show unexpectedly landed on the streaming platform on January 22nd, 2024. So, get ready for some medical drama and laughter.
“Royal Pains” is a TV show about a doctor named Hank who loses his job in the emergency room. To bounce back, he becomes a special doctor for rich and famous people. The show is a mix of medical stuff, funny moments, and stories about the characters’ lives. It aired from 2009 to 2016 and was on the USA Network. Mark Feuerstein, Paulo Costanzo, Reshma Shetty, Brooke D’Orsay, and Ben Shenkman were some of the main actors.
If you’ve been a Netflix fan for a while, you might remember that “Royal Pains” has been on Netflix before. It was there for most of the 2010s, and they even added new seasons from 2014 to 2017. However, after putting the last season on in May 2018, they took it off in May 2020. So, if you’re feeling nostalgic for “Royal Pains,” you might have caught it on Netflix a few times over the years.
According to JustWatch, you can still watch all eight seasons of “Royal Pains” on Prime Video. It used to be on Peacock, which is NBC Universal’s streaming service, but they took it off in July 2023. So, if you want to catch the show now, Prime Video is the place to be.
Netflix is grabbing more shows from the USA Network, and it’s not just “Royal Pains.” After the hit show “Suits” came to Netflix last summer, they’re adding another one in early February 2024 – all of “Monk.” Netflix is making a big comeback in getting the rights to show these series, and it’s not just USA Network. They’re also getting over a dozen Disney series in the U.S. And for viewers outside the U.S., more NBC Universal shows are on the way in the next few months. So, there’s a lot of new stuff to watch on Netflix!
How long will “Royal Pains” be available on Netflix?
“Royal Pains” on Netflix is only licensed until the end of this year. So, unless there are any changes, you can watch it on Netflix until December 31st, 2024. After that, it’s scheduled to be removed on January 1st, 2025.
The date when “Royal Pains” is supposed to leave Netflix is set for January 1st, 2025. But keep in mind, plans can change, especially if lots of people are watching the show. If the show does well, Netflix might decide to keep it around for longer. So, there’s a chance the removal date could be extended if the show continues to be popular.
