Streaming Farewells: What’s Leaving Netflix

While snooker fans eagerly await the next big match, movie lovers are on alert as Netflix prepares to axe over 60 titles this October. This transition is designed to make way for enticing new content just in time for the fall season.

Titles to Watch Before They Disappear

Among the iconic titles leaving the platform:

Paddington (2014): Departing just before the arrival of the much-anticipated third installment in November.
Schindler’s List (1993): A much-revered classic that always ignites conversations about cinema.
Halloween (1978): Surprisingly leaving right before the spooky season; fans may have to dig up their old DVDs or switch to another streaming service to catch it!
The Maze Runner (2014): This departure is sure to leave YA fans scrambling to finish their binge.

Farewell to some brilliant titles on Netflix.

Full List of Departures

Here’s a brief overview of some notable titles: October 1: Call Me By Your Name, Crazy, Stupid, Love, Halloween, Schindler’s List
