Netflix Will Lose Some Major TV Shows And Movies Next Month

Netflix is set to remove some major TV shows and movies from its platform starting in just a couple of weeks, meaning you'll need to squeeze the content into your binge-watching schedule if you want to see it before it disappears. Both classics and newer hits are on the removal list, including things like The Secret Life of Pets 2 and the Back to the Future trilogy.

Starting next month, Netflix will begin removing a number of movies and shows, including hits and classics like Hannibal, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Scarface, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the first two seasons of Twin Peaks, Portlandia, the three Back to the Future movies, and more.

It's not unusual for Netflix to add and remove content, but the loss of additional big hits underscores the fragmentation of the streaming market and the growing number of competitors launching their own services. This changing landscape previously resulted in things like hit sitcom The Office leaving Netflix for its new home on NBC's Peacock streaming service.

Netflix has heavily invested in original content, making it less dependent on third-party movies and TV shows. Despite that, many consumers have grown weary of the shifting streaming landscape and the need to sign up for new services to access the content they're looking for.

Netflix has had some big hits among its original content, including shows like Stranger Things, but the company has also developed a reputation for canceling shows after only two or three seasons — much to the frustration of many subscribers. It's unclear where the content scheduled for removal next month will end up, but it's likely you'll find at least some of the series and movies on other streaming platforms soon.
