What's leaving Netflix this month — and where to watch it next

Netflix licensing deals are short. Big titles cycle off the service every month, often with only a few days' notice in the app itself. Here's how to see what's leaving — and what to do when something you wanted to watch disappears.

How Netflix flags expiring titles

Open any title's detail page in the Netflix app. If it's leaving in the next 30 days, you'll see a small "Last day to watch" line under the title — but only after you've already clicked in. There's no central "leaving soon" page in the app itself.

The third-party trackers worth using

JustWatch and Reelgood both maintain "leaving Netflix" lists per country, updated daily. They tend to flag titles 2–3 weeks before they actually disappear, which is enough lead time to either watch them or plan a switch.

What to do when something leaves

Most titles that leave Netflix don't vanish from the internet — they just move. A movie pulled from Netflix US almost always lands on Prime Video, Max, Hulu, or a free service like Tubi within a few weeks. Search the title on Where to Watch to see where it landed.

The rental fallback

If a title isn't on any subscription you have, a one-off $3.99 rental on Apple TV, Amazon, or Google Play almost always beats signing up for a new $10–15/month service. Especially for a movie you'll watch once.

Series mid-watch?

If you're partway through a show that's leaving, check whether the same series is on another service before the deadline. Many "Netflix shows" are actually licensed from other studios and stay available elsewhere — sometimes with the seasons Netflix didn't carry.
