Don’t Miss Out: Major Netflix Titles Leaving in October!

As the leaves turn and Halloween approaches, Netflix is gearing up for a big content shakeup. This October, over 60 films and shows are set to exit the streaming giant, leaving fans scrambling to catch their favorites before they disappear. It’s a bittersweet moment for many—especially those of us who tend to binge-watch in a last-minute panic!

Popular titles departing soon

Among the long list of departing titles, there are some real classics. Iconic films like Schindler’s List and Call Me By Your Name will no longer grace our screens after October 1st, while the family-friendly film Paddington bids adieu just in time for the release of its third installment in cinemas. If you’ve been meaning to revisit the charming bear’s adventures, now’s your chance!

Fans of horror won’t be thrilled to hear that iconic films like Halloween and Insidious will also be leaving the platform—just when we’d all like to gather around and enjoy some frightful fun! So, whether you want to relive the thrills of old or are just getting into the spooky spirit, dig out that dusty DVD collection, as these classics might just haunt your viewing schedule this fall.

Alongside these heavy hitters, an entire season of Simply Raymond Blanc will be disappearing on October 3rd. The beloved ITV cooking show is a shining example of the sheer variety Netflix brought to viewers, mixing cooking with charm. Alas, it seems that we won’t be able to whip up some culinary magic with Raymond for much longer.

The Complete List of Departures

Leaving on October 1

  • Before I Go To Sleep (2014)
  • Call Me By Your Name (2017)
  • Halloween (1978)
  • Schindler’s List (1993)
  • The Maze Runner (2014)
  • Pride & Prejudice (2005)

Leaving Soon After

  • October 3: Simply Raymond Blanc (One series)
  • October 7: Insidious (2010)
  • October 14: Paddington (2014)

As we bid farewell to these gems, we can’t help but feel a mix of sadness and excitement. Sadness because these beloved films are leaving, but excitement because new content will soon take their place. It’s like spring cleaning in our streaming library—getting rid of the old to make way for fresh entertainment!

Fresh content coming soon!

It’s a little known fact that streaming is a constantly moving feast. Every week, platforms like Netflix are busy updating their libraries. Recently, Heartstopper made waves with fans eagerly awaiting its new season—let’s hope those heartwarming stories remain while the platform refreshes its catalog.

What You Should Catch Before it’s Gone

For anyone who finds solace in YA dystopian stories, The Maze Runner leaving the service is a tough blow. If you’re a fan of Dylan O’Brien and thrilling narratives, make sure to catch it before it disappears. Likewise, classic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love—a film that shows love in all its chaotic forms—is worth a rewatch, so grab your popcorn and dive in!

A Blessing in Disguise!

While the list of exiting titles can be disheartening, it often leads to an influx of exciting new content, or so we hope. Rumors of a Halloween special from Netflix have sent fans into a frenzy—could it be the perfect treat to soften the blow of losing some beloved films?

So here’s the takeaway: Grab your watchlist, prioritize your viewing, and make the most of what’s left. If your list of ‘must-watch’ titles still has room for some head-scratchers, goofy comedies, or heartwarming romances, this is the month to indulge.

As October rolls in, let’s make sure we enjoy one last round of laughs and tears with these departing favorites. Don’t let these flicks fade into oblivion—get watching!

Keep an eye out, because after these titles leave, who knows what gems will come next?
