Illustration by What’s on Netflix
As we look towards the middle of the year, we reach May 2026, and Netflix is ​​once again clearing out its library to make room for a fresh batch of new releases. Unfortunately, a new month means saying goodbye to a huge lineup of beloved movies and highly-rated shows.
The first day of the month is hitting American libraries especially hard, with blockbuster franchises like Mission: Impossible (after just one month) and Jaws as well as critically acclaimed favorites like Whiplash, Moonrise Kingdom, and Erin Brockovich.
At the end of the month, you’ll also lose the chance to stream dramatic drops like the hit Bryan Cranston series Your Honor, the zombie thriller Train to Busan, and the recent Afraid. If any of these remain on your watch list, your time is officially coming to an end.
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.
This article is a work in progress. Keep checking back for further updates.
