Netflix U.S. is listing that it will remove the Glitter Force and Glitter Force Doki Doki anime after November 9. Additionally, after the What's on Netflix site reported on September 20 that the Voltron: Legendary Defender animated series would leave Netflix in December 2024, the official Instagram account for the Voltron franchise responded to a comment on the subject, stating, "Discussions are ongoing. When we know, you'll know."

Glitter Force Doki Doki is the localized version of the Dokidoki! Precure television anime. The first 15 episodes, which covered the story up through the original anime's episode 21, premiered on Netflix in August 2017. The 15-episode second season debuted on Netflix in November 2017. The episodes covered the rest of the original anime's story.

The rights for Glitter Force moved to Hasbro in 2018, as Saban Brands shut down in July 2018.
