Netflix’s October Exodus: Farewell to Fan Favorites
As October creeps in, Netflix is preparing to clear its virtual shelves, and it’s not a pretty sight for fans of the streaming giant. Over 60 films and series are set to vanish, making way for some tantalizing new content. While we’re all for fresh entertainment, it’s hard to ignore the cinematic treasures that will soon be lost in the ether.
With classics like Schindler’s List and personal favorite Call Me By Your Name exiting the platform, viewers have little time left to indulge in these cinematic experiences. October seems to suggest that Netflix is in a spooky mood, but curiously, beloved Halloween staples like Halloween and Insidious are also on their way out, sparking rampant speculation about their possible migration to alternative streaming services.
An array of iconic movies including Schindler’s List are leaving Netflix this October.
Major Losses This Month
From classics to cult favorites, the list of titles departing Netflix this October is substantial. Some highlights include:
- October 1: Call Me By Your Name (2017), Schindler’s List (1993), and Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011).
- October 3: Simply Raymond Blanc (One series), showcasing culinary magic that viewers won’t want to miss before it’s gone.
- October 7: Horror flick Insidious (2010) leaves just as thrill-seekers gear up for the Halloween season.
This mass exodus often leaves viewers lamenting the titles they’ve missed, resulting in frantic last-minute viewing sessions. Perhaps Netflix should consider sending calendar reminders to its users.
For fans of the dystopian genre, the exit of The Maze Runner series feels particularly painful. Featuring Dylan O’Brien, it was a hit among young adults navigating apocalyptic narratives. Coupled with the loss of Paddington—perfect for reminiscing before the third film hits theaters—this October is shaping up to be an emotional downturn for many.

Shows like DC Super Hero Girls are soon to say goodbye.
In this ever-changing digital landscape, one thing remains clear: the need for nostalgia and the desire to revisit beloved films and series never wanes.
