Credit: NetflixIn with the old and out with the new is usually the motto of a new year, right?
Netflix regularly removes movie and TV show titles from its platform each month due to various reasons related to licensing agreements, content contracts, and viewer engagement. The streaming service negotiates licensing deals with content creators, studios, and distributors for a limited period. When these contracts expire or are not renewed, the titles are removed from the platform.
Additionally, Netflix analyzes viewer data and removes titles that may not be performing well or are not attracting enough viewership. This dynamic content rotation allows Netflix to make room for new releases, maintain a fresh and diverse content library, and manage costs associated with licensing fees.
This month, 145 movies and TV shows will be removed from the platform entirely in the United States as well as United Kingdom, making room for others to join.
What is leaving Netflix in January
First, let’s look at what you need to binge before it poofs away on Netflix forever, as stated by The Independent. As we mentioned, this month, around 214 titles will be leaving the platform, which is quite a large amount compared to previous counts. Many of these films were gone as of January 1st, however, there are still over 100 titles that you can still binge before losing it forever.

More on Netflix
Founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph, Netflix initially started as a DVD rental-by-mail service, allowing customers to rent DVDs online and have them delivered to their homes—an innovative alternative to traditional video rental stores.
The company gained fast popularity and disrupted the industry. In 2007, Netflix introduced its streaming service, a game-changer that allowed subscribers to instantly watch movies and TV shows on their computers. This shift marked a pivotal moment, leading to the gradual phasing out of the DVD-by-mail service, and sparking the likes of Disney+, Hulu, Max, Paramount+, Peacock, or any other streaming service subscription.
Netflix ventured into content production in 2013 with the release of the now controversial House of Cards, followed by hits like Orange Is the New Black and Stranger Things. The global expansion of its streaming service turned Netflix into a major entertainment industry player, influencing how people consume content.
With over 262 million subscribers worldwide, Netflix’s vast library, personalized recommendations, and original content have positioned it as a leader in the streaming industry, reshaping entertainment consumption habits. The company’s focus on original content, exemplified by successful series like Tim Burton’s Wednesday and Shonda Rhimes’ Bridgerton, plays a pivotal role in attracting and retaining subscribers.
Netflix has recently raised its prices in the U.S., U.K. and France. In the U.S., ads ($6.99) and Standard plans ($15.49) will stay the same, while Basic will now be $11.99 and Premium $22.99. Additionally, password crackdowns have been implemented.
