Netflix is removing all of these movies and TV shows this month

Netflix removes a large amount of titles each month without warning – and May 2024 is no different.

Over the next 31 days, many movies and TV shows will not only be added to the service, but will disappear altogether meaning titles will vanish from your watchlist before you’ve had the chance to watch them.

Fortunately, The Independent has put together a list of every single thing, including some Netflix Originals, that will be culled in the coming month.

From high-profile films to little-seen shows, here is every titled being removed from Netflix in May 2024.

NB: We compiled this list with assistance from What’s on Netflix.
