Netflix has clarified details surrounding one of its newly licensed sitcom additions ahead of its upcoming streaming debut. The announcement explains how the long-running CBS comedy will join the platform’s February lineup without positioning it as a Netflix Original.
Mike & Molly begins streaming on Netflix in February
All six seasons of Mike & Molly will be available to stream on Netflix in the United States starting Friday, February 20, 2026. This is the first time the series will stream on Netflix US. It was previously available on HBO Max and has continued airing in syndication since its original run.
The series aired on CBS from September 2010 to May 2016. It was created by Mark Roberts and executive-produced by Chuck Lorre. Mike & Molly won an Emmy Award after its first season for Melissa McCarthy’s performance. The show stars Billy Gardell as Mike Biggs, a Chicago police officer, and Melissa McCarthy as Molly Flynn, an elementary school teacher. The story begins when they meet at an Overeaters support group and follows their relationship over time.
Netflix included Mike & Molly in its February 2026 lineup announcement. The platform also added Heartland (Season 18), The Night Agent (Season 3), and the complete Stargate SG-1 series. Netflix scheduled Mike & Molly to arrive on February 20.
The ensemble cast features Reno Wilson, Katy Mixon, Nyambi Nyambi, Rondi Reed, Cleo King, Louis Mustillo, David Anthony Higgins, and Swoosie Kurtz. The series offers a comedic perspective on daily life, family dynamics, and personal development. Mike’s mother, Peggy, owns a dog named Jim, who frequently appears throughout the show.
This release comes shortly before the 10th anniversary of the show’s series finale. All 127 episodes will be available for streaming in one drop. As of the announcement on January 26, 2026, Netflix has not specified any limitations on regional availability beyond the US.
