The availability of specific television programs on Netflix is determined by regional licensing agreements. These agreements grant Netflix the right to stream content within particular geographic boundaries. Consequently, a show like the animated series Rick and Morty might be accessible in one location but not in another.
The varying availability stems from pre-existing distribution contracts held by other networks or streaming services within individual countries. These contracts often predate Netflix’s global expansion and dictate where and when a specific program can be legally broadcast or streamed. The show’s presence on a streaming platform is therefore a complex interplay of international rights and distribution deals.
