Netflix TV shows and movies being axed in May including Dawson's Creek and Below Deck

It's hard to imagine what life was like before Netflix, but even they need to have a clear out from time-to-time.

The much-loved streaming service, which is home to popular series such as Bridgerton, Stranger Things and Top Boy, is having a clear out come May and there's a long list of titles which are getting the chop.

It's not unusual for Netflix to have a spring clean, as they remove TV series and titles that may not be pulling in viewers in order to make way for new content.

It's safe to say that huge shows such as Squid Game, Money Heist and Breaking Bad will always remain - but some of your favourites might be disappearing once April is over.

Here's every movie and TV show that will be removed from Netflix come May 1, 2022.
