Movies and Shows Leaving Netflix in April 2026
From major Hollywood titles to long-running TV series, Netflix is set to remove a wide range of content throughout April, giving viewers a limited window to catch some notable films and shows before they disappear from the platform.
Nothing stays in the streaming library indefinitely, which is why April’s departures list serves as a reminder to revisit standout titles before they are gone. The lineup includes everything from popular comedies to critically acclaimed dramas and iconic franchises. Viewers can expect a mix of mainstream hits and genre favorites, making this one of the more varied monthly removals.
Among the highlights are recognizable titles like Big Momma’s House, starring Martin Lawrence, and Misery, Rob Reiner’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel. These films represent the range of content exiting the platform, from lighthearted entertainment to intense psychological thrillers.
Below is the full schedule of titles leaving Netflix throughout April.

One of the most significant removals this month is the large collection of James Bond films, which includes both classic entries like Dr. No and modern installments such as Skyfall and No Time to Die. Their departure represents a major shift in the platform’s action and franchise offerings.
Television is also taking a hit, with full series runs of Queen of the South, Van Helsing, and Black Sails all exiting within a short window. This means binge-watch opportunities for these shows are limited, especially for viewers who have yet to start or finish them.
April’s removals reflect the ongoing rotation of licensed content on streaming platforms. For viewers, it is a chance to revisit fan favorites or finally watch titles that have been sitting on their watchlist before they are no longer available.
