Can You Watch Courage the Cowardly Dog on Netflix? (Complete Streaming Guide 2025)

Hey folks! If you’re feeling nostalgic and looking to catch up with everyone’s favorite pink canine who’s afraid of literally everything, you might be wondering if you can stream Courage the Cowardly Dog on Netflix. I’ve done the research so you don’t have to waste time searching, and I’ve got some not-so-great news for fans of this cult classic cartoon.

The Short Answer: No, You Cannot Watch Courage the Cowardly Dog on Netflix (In the US)

While Netflix does have a listing for Courage the Cowardly Dog (with the title ID 70268352), it’s currently unavailable for streaming in the United States. When you visit the Netflix page, you’ll see that frustrating message we all hate: “Oh no! This title currently isn’t available to watch in your country.”

Bummer, right? I was super disappointed too when I saw this. The show is listed on Netflix’s catalog, which is kind of a tease, but you can’t actually watch it.

What Happened to Courage the Cowardly Dog?

According to recent information from IGN (August 2025), Courage the Cowardly Dog is part of a growing list of Cartoon Network titles that have been removed from streaming platforms in 2025. The show was previously available on HBO Max, but it was recently removed along with several other beloved Cartoon Network classics.

This removal is part of what IGN calls the “HBO Max Cartoon Network Purge” where Warner Bros. has been quietly removing cartoon series from their streaming platform. And sadly Courage the Cowardly Dog isn’t available on ANY streaming service right now.

Other Cartoon Network Shows That Got Removed in 2025

Courage isn’t alone in this streaming exile. Here are the other shows that have been removed:

• Ed, Edd, n Eddy
• The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
• Apple & Onion
• The Powerpuff Girls

About Courage the Cowardly Dog

For those who might not be familiar with this amazing show (or just want a trip down memory lane):

Courage the Cowardly Dog ran for 4 seasons with a total of 52 episodes. It debuted on Cartoon Network on November 12, 1999. The show follows Courage, who lives with his owners Muriel and Eustace on a farm in the middle of “Nowhere,” where they’re constantly visited by monsters, aliens, and other creepy creatures.

The show features voice talents including:

• Thea White
• Marty Grabstein
• Simon Prebble
• Lionel G. Wilson
• Billie Lou Watt
• Arthur Anderson
• Paul Schoeffler

Netflix categorizes it as:

• Kids’ TV
• TV Comedies
• TV Cartoons

And describes it as:

• Irreverent
• Kids
• Cult Favorite
• Animal Friends
• Underdog
• Comedy
• Spooky
• Classic

So Where CAN You Watch Courage the Cowardly Dog in 2025?

If you’re determined to watch this show (and I don’t blame you!), you still have a few options:

1. Purchase Digital Episodes

You can buy individual episodes or full seasons on digital platforms:

• Prime Video: $1.99 per episode or $23.39 per season
• Apple TV: Same pricing as above

All 52 episodes are available for purchase on these platforms. But be warned – buying all four seasons would cost you nearly $100! That’s a lot for a show that used to be included with streaming subscriptions.

Also, it’s worth noting that when you “buy” digital content, you don’t actually own it in the same way you would a physical copy. If rights change hands, platforms can still remove purchased content (though this doesn’t happen often).

2. Buy the Complete Series on DVD

In my opinion, this is the best option right now:

The complete series DVD collection is available for just $17.96 on:

• Amazon
• Walmart

This includes all four seasons for a fraction of the digital purchase price, and you’ll actually OWN the episodes. No worries about them disappearing from your library!

Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a Blu-ray version available yet. IGN mentions that Looney Tunes got a Blu-ray release a few months after being removed from HBO Max, so there’s hope that Courage might get similar treatment in the future.

Why Are These Shows Disappearing From Streaming?

You might be wondering why Warner Bros. is removing these beloved classics from their streaming platforms. While they haven’t provided specific reasons for each removal, this is part of a larger trend we’ve been seeing with streaming services.

Some possible reasons include:

• Cost-cutting measures
• Rights issues
• Making room for newer content
• Planning to sell rights to other platforms
• Creating artificial scarcity to drive DVD/Blu-ray sales

Whatever the reason, it’s frustrating for fans who just wanna watch a pink dog scream “AAAHHHHH!” at creepy stuff.

Will Courage the Cowardly Dog Return to Streaming?

There’s no official word on whether Courage will return to any streaming platform. It’s possible that:

1. It could return to HBO Max (now back to its original name) after a period of time
2. It might appear on another streaming service if Warner Bros. licenses it out
3. It could remain unavailable except for purchase options

I’ll keep an eye on this situation and update this article if anything changes!

Netflix Subscription Options (If You’re Still Interested)

Even though you can’t watch Courage on Netflix right now, here are the current Netflix plans if you’re interested in their other content:

• Standard with ads: $7.99/month (1080p, “Less ads than you might think”)
• Standard: $17.99/month (1080p, No ads)
• Premium: $24.99/month (4K + HDR, Immersive sound with spatial audio, No ads)

Final Thoughts

It’s really disappointing that such a beloved show isn’t easily accessible for streaming right now. Courage the Cowardly Dog is one of those unique series that managed to be simultaneously hilarious, terrifying, and heartwarming – often within the same episode!

If you’re a big fan, the DVD set seems like your best bet right now. For casual viewers who just want to revisit a few episodes, the digital purchase options might work, though they’re definitely pricier.

I’m personally hoping that Warner Bros. will bring Courage and the other removed Cartoon Network shows back to streaming platforms soon. These shows are important pieces of animation history and deserve to be easily accessible for both longtime fans and new generations of viewers.

And remember: “The things I do for love!” (Courage would totally buy that DVD set right now.)

You can watch Courage the Cowardly Dog by purchasing it digitally on platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play, or by buying a physical DVD collection.
