Netflix has released a list of all the shows available from September, and “The Nutty Professor” is a part of the list that can be streamed on this OTT platform from September 1, 2021. The Nutty professor was added to Netflix on May 1, 2016, but it was removed from Netflix on August 1. 2016 due to licensing agreements. According to Netflix, they license movies all around the world, and they strive hard to have the streaming rights of the show.
However, when a movie or TV series is reaching an end to its streaming agreement rights, Netflix would renew it depending on factors such as
1) If the streaming rights are still available.
2) If the film or TV series is popular and how much the new agreement would cost them.
3) If the varying social and regional factors are affecting the show.
But if the show or film will not be returning to Netflix, the members will get a heads up about the departure of that film or series. In spite of the fact that Netflix is one of the best OTT platforms availing streaming facilities globally, it does not feature every single film or series because they want to provide a variety of movies and TV series, and some of them can be exclusive to a particular region only.
Moreover, if Netflix adds everything, it would take a considerable toll on their pockets because of the streaming rights. Therefore Netflix chooses to rotate its selection regularly or on a monthly basis to provide a wide range of variety, and their servers can work properly.
