April is just around the corner, which means it’s time for another look at what movies and series will be departing the service throughout the month. This early look at what’s set to leave includes all the US departures planned throughout the month, with some Netflix Originals planned to depart in addition to the regular first-of-the-month rotation.
As a reminder, Netflix removes titles after their license period ends, which can range from just a month to several years. We should also note that Netflix removals are subject to change if renewals are worked out and that most of these movies will undoubtedly return to Netflix sometime in the future.
Per Netflix, “Whenever a TV show or movie license is expiring, we consider things such as: If the rights to the title are still available and/or how popular it is in a region, and how much it costs to license”
As always, this list is a constant work-in-progress, which we’ll keep updated throughout March and into April. We typically learn of most removals around 30 days before they’re due to leave. Netflix itself provides an abbreviated list, which will be copied and pasted by most outlets on a Wednesday in the final couple of weeks of March. We’re the only outlet that covers all departures.
