Each month, streaming services drop a number of shows in order to make room for new shows. In most cases, it's no big deal – but if it's something that's been sitting on your watch list forever and you miss your window, it can be a bit of a nuisance.
Below, we take a look at what's leaving Acorn TV in February 2022. Where possible, we've offered alternative viewing options or suggestions for similar programming in case you miss the show in question.
Prefer to focus on what's new and coming soon? Here's the February 2022 premiere list for Acorn TV, and here's a look at 5 brand new Acorn TV Original shows coming out later in 2022.

It stars Emilia Fox as a disillusioned British spy-turned-detective living in the heart of Italy. Trouble seems to follow wherever she goes, but her career as a spy has left her with all the right skills for investigation.After her years of work in MI6, she heads to Umbria to visit her sister Isabel (Tara Fitzgerald, Game of Thrones)…and decides to stay. While she's trying to start her new life in Italy, she finds herself involved in investigation after investigation. Her bravery, nosiness, and desire for justice prevent her from standing back when bad things happen.

I love acorn channel
Acorn has very interesting programs
Acorn TV? I don’t think these losses will even be noticed? Most people don’t even know Acorn is a thing. Maybe advertising the losses will make people aware Acorn exists and bring in more viewers.
Such an ignorant comment. Plenty of us love Acorn!
I completely agree! Also, why would someone read this and comment if he doesn’t even know what Acorn is…? Boggles the mind the baseless negativity and self righteousness. 🙄
If John Pieper lives in US, he probably watches FOX or televised wrestling. This American loves Acorn. One of our favorite series was RAKE…Cleever Green is too cool.
I agree. Love Acorn! I wish people would keep their negativity to themselves.
Absolutely. I’m “nuts” for Acorn!
We actually have AcornTv and enjoy it.
