Spring is just around the corner, and for Netflix, that means a significant spring cleaning of its original library. March 2026 will see the departure of several long-running series, international gems, and a comedy legend. While many of these titles were produced for Netflix by outside studios (hence their licenses now expiring), the loss of the Bluth family will be felt by comedy fans around the world.
If you want to see everything departing through March 2026, we have lists covering all US departures and planned UK departures. You can also track the growing list of Netflix Originals removed from the service here.
Note: The Last Kingdom, which is scheduled to leave Netflix US later this year, is leaving Netflix Canada first on March 9, as we covered here.
Please note: All removals from Netflix are subject to change due to licensing agreements. Netflix may extend the license or remove a title before it is listed. Removal dates may also vary by region.

March 8 will be a double whammy for fans of international style.

This is the big one. While Netflix famously “saved” arrested Development For seasons 4 and 5, the rights to the entire series, including the Netflix-produced seasons, are owned by Disney (through 20th Television). We’ve seen fears of this show being axed before, but it appears that the 2026 end date is the definitive end of the Bluth family’s residence on Netflix.
