Netflix is removing a large selection of movies and TV shows

What goes up must come down – and that’s no different when it comes to films and TV shows on Netflix.

Every month, while the streaming service adds a bursting list of titles to its library, it also removes a large amount – and, in the case of the UK, it does so without warning subscribers.

As a consequence, this means that things you’ve been meaning to get around to viewing after adding them to your watchlist may suddenly disappear.

Being removed this month includes Copycat, the 1990s thriller that took the streaming service by storm earlier this year, the Saw Films and the psychological drama Don’t Worry Darling. Netflix Original titles are no longer safe from these removals, either.

The Independent has compiled a full list of every single movie and TV series being taken down in October 2025. Find a full list of everything being added to the service this month – including the “best film of the year” – here.

NB: We put this list together with help from What’s on Netflix.
