After the tragic death of TV star Anthony Bourdain, fans have been doing their best to pay tribute to him the best way that they know how — by watching his hit show.
“It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain. His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time.”
In a tweet from earlier today, the streaming service announced their decision to continue to stream Bourdain’s show, though they didn’t give an exact end date.
Some fans have noticed that Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown was scheduled to come off Netflix US on June 16. As of today, we’ve extended our agreement that will keep Parts Unknown on the service for months to come.

Thanks to an online petition started by Tanner Palin, the streaming service gave the fans just what they wanted. In just a short period of time, the petition gained over 6,000 signatures.
“Bourdain lived life like he treated so many of the dishes he consumed. By gnawing it to the bone. So many of us could learn to live just a little more like that. Netflix, this show isn’t just entertaining. It is heartwarming, it is honest and it benefits human kind. Please keep it on the air,” Palin wrote.
