Every Netflix Original Series and Movie Removed from Netflix (2024)

Content leaving Netflix is nothing new, but the removal of Netflix Originals from the service is only a fairly recent phenomenon. Despite that, dozens of Netflix Originals have now been removed from the platform. Here’s the complete list of every Netflix Original removed since 2017.

To get to the bottom of why Netflix Original titles leave, they usually fall into one of several categories.

• The majority of them leave because Netflix does not own them. Instead, they’re distributed internationally exclusively by Netflix for a fixed period.
• Secondly, it could be temporary or permanent licensing problems. For example, Beat Bugs left due to licensing problems for a short period, whereas Slasher was removed for some time because the owner of the series went bankrupt.
• Thirdly, some titles are time-specific. These include New Year’s Countdowns, for example. We won’t list these below.
• Next, we’ve got the cases where the original content owners decided to pull their shows (often breaking original agreements and therefore costing lots of money). Disney is the most high-profile example of this, pulling all of their Marvel series from Netflix.
• Finally, you may find Netflix Originals are removed from some regions due to laws or takedown requests. We’ll cover those at the end.

Scheduled for Removal But Ultimately Renewed

In a few instances, Netflix Originals have been up for removal, but either just before their scheduled departure date or after they had already left, Netflix struck a new deal to keep them streaming.

• Lilyhammer– Initially due to leave Netflix in November 2022 but has been renewed through 2026.
• Prison Playbook – Departed in January 2023 but did return pretty quickly.
• Arrested Development – Originally scheduled to be removed from Netflix in March 2023 – renewed through 2026.
• Bleach – Was removed in August 2023 but re-added in October 2023.
• Mako Mermaids: An H2O Adventure – This was removed in May 2024 but re-added partially a few weeks later.

Netflix Originals Removed due to government takedowns

The most famous example of Netflix being ordered to remove content is the Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj. An episode critical of the regime in the country was ordered to be pulled back in January 2019.

The following titles were removed from Netflix Singapore and have been removed from several other regions, too:

• The Last Hangover (eventually removed globally)
• The Temptation of Christ (eventually removed globally)
• Cooking on High
• Disjointed
