Each month, Acorn TV adds new shows – but they also take some away. It's not that they “run out of storage space”, as some have asked – but that it costs money to buy the rights to make shows available. Assuming the majority of us aren't willing to pay more to keep all the shows available forever, some rotation has to happen.
While most of us don't even notice the departures (since they're usually older shows that have been around a while), it's always a good idea to check the list to make sure you won't miss anything you've been meaning to watch.
Below, we take a look at which shows are leaving Acorn TV in March 2023 – but if you're more interested in what's COMING, check out the Acorn TV March 2023 Premiere List HERE.
