What films and TV shows are leaving Netflix in April 2026?

  • Netflix has announced which series is set to leave the streaming service this April, and it includes some fan favourites.
  • Unlike in the US, Netflix subscribers in the UK do not receive advance warnings about which titles are scheduled for removal.
  • This can lead to popular series, such as all eight seasons of 'Dexter', disappearing from watchlists due to expiring licensing agreements.
  • Some of the hit films and series that will disappear include: Central Intelligence, Hot Pursuit, Total Recall, Rush Hour 2 and 3, Scream (1996), Scream 2 and Scream 3, Star Trek Beyond and Star Trek Into Darkness, Zero Dark Thirty, Ex-Machina, Chicken Run and Mean Girls amongst more.
  • Subscribers are advised to consult this list to be aware of titles that may vanish unexpectedly from their viewing options - see the full list in the article below.
