Netflix is removing all of these movies and TV shows before the end of 2023

Netflix is going to be removing a large selection of titles from its library throughout December.

Each month, a new bunch of films and TV shows are added to the service – but with their arrival also comes the departure of many pre-existing titles on the platform, not to mention the cancellation of several shows still in their prime.

Netflix does not publish an official list listing what’s going to be removed, but The Independent (with help from What’s on Netflix) has you sorted.

Below is a compiltion of every single movie and TV series being taken down from Netflix UK and US before the end of 2023. We’ve listed the territory next to the title, but where there is no territory, it will be removed from both.

Find the full list of every movie and TV series being added to Netflix in December here.
