Over 150 movies are coming to Netflix on New Year’s Day!

Netflix US is about to ring in the New Year with one of its biggest licensing shakeups in recent memory, a fireworks display of departures that includes cult classics, blockbuster franchises, Oscar-caliber dramas, and even a handful of Netflix originals being kicked out of the library.
January 2026 brings an unusually packed wave of departures, from superhero tentpoles and beloved comedies to crowd-pleasing family films and long-gone cozy movies. If something in your rotation comes from Sony, Warner Bros., or a previous Netflix deal, there’s a good chance it’s on the move, so now’s the time to squeeze in those last watches before it disappears with the arrival of the new year.
We’ll be updating this post throughout December and January, and our other previews look at what’s leaving Netflix in 2026, including some big Netflix Originals and licensed series.
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.
