There is a new post for the Current Expiring Titles (click on Home, above). Please submit all relevant comments to that post. This page is now the archive for September/October 2020 expired titles, and the name of this page has been changed to reflect that. This page will no longer be updated.
October 13 Moonwalkers (2015) Russell Peters vs. the World - 4-Part Docuseries (2013) Russell Peters: Notorious (2013) Note for Russell Peters: There are additional shows/series for Russell Peters, but only the two on this list are expiring at this time. Suburra (2015) Note for Suburra: There is also a similarly titled series. Only the movie is expiring.
October 14 A Scandall (2016) Aisa Yeh Jahaan, aka The World It Is (2015) Ankur Arora Murder Case (2013) Calendar Girls (2015) Dark Crimes, aka True Crimes (2016) Darra (2016) Dear Dracula (2012) Devlok with Devdutt Pattanaik - 1 Season (2017) El Che (2017) Note for El Che: Rotten Tomatoes does not have a page for this film, and it doesn't come up obviously on IMDb. Searching IMDb by the director and one-man cast names on Netflix, it looks like this might have been compiled from a television series titled “Ernesto Guevara, también conocido como el Che,” but the episode info is unclear, so can’t be sure. Gour Hari Dastaan: The Freedom File (2015) Harry & Bunnie - 1 Season (2017) Homeland, aka La Patrie (2019) Jal (2013) Macchli Jal Ki Rani Hai, aka Machhli Jal Ki Rani Hai (2014) Money (2016) One Night Stand (2016) Note for One Night Stand: There is also a Bill Hicks stand-up comedy show with this title, but it is the movie that is expiring. Otherlife (2017) Sardaarji 2 (2016) Note for Sardaarji 2: The original is also streaming, but not currently scheduled to expire. Satte Pe Satta, aka Sathe Pe Satha, aka Seven on Seven (1982) Story of an Egg, aka Ondu Motteya Kathe (2017) Tamanchey (2014) Teshan (2016) Veerappan (2016) Why Knot (2016)
October 19 Miss Representation (2011) Paper Year (2018) Yes or No 2.5 (2015) Note for Yes or No 2.5: The first two movies in this series are also streaming, but are not currently scheduled to expire.
The first thing that came up when I watched A-X-L was that it was a Netflix Production. Not sure why there is no N on the picture. Maybe they only do that when they own them? Anyway I would think that if it is a Netflix production then they are going to get it back at some point in time if you don't have time to watch it.
A-X-L is not a Netflix production, although they have a current distro deal. These are the production companies listed for A-X-L: Global Road Entertainment Lakeshore Entertainment Phantom Four Films Stage 6 Films
this wasn't the best place for this discussion, and apologies to Carol. however, i watched it, too, and was also tickled by NETFLIX being the first company listed in the opening of the movie. i didn't look into it any further and don't want to guess what it all means, but i just had to back up what the first Anon said about that regardless of what's listed online.
While it's a great help if readers can research their own questions - and share their findings with us, I understand that people are at different places in their knowledge of where info can be found, and what Netflix's policies are regarding expiring titles. I also realize that research is easier for some of us than for others, just like any other skill (for example, I can't draw worth beans).
On the new info pages for movies and series, scroll all the way down to the very bottom. If a show is expiring, the last line on the info page will say "Availability" followed by the expiration date. This is good for movies expiring in the next 7 days, and whole series expiring in the next 30 days. There's a bunch of complicated rules if an expiring movie or partial series requires more digging to find, but perhaps people could at least check the info page for their answers before posting their questions. Thanks.
As you know, if you are using the Netflix website, you get a one-week notice when movies are expiring - it shows up at the bottom of the movie's info page, and on the "manual" My List. There are several apps that have an availability notice two weeks before a movie is expiring. I would imagine by now most/all Smart TVs have this app. I know Samsung, Sony, and Visio do. A less expensive option is one of the Roku products. There are several varieties, and I'm not positive, but I think they all have an app that gives you 2 weeks notice.
We used to have a page that had some of this info, but it got out-dated. I'm going to make a new page just so readers can share what they use to see a 2-week notice on movies. I'll put the url in a reply to this comment.
Carol - happy 5th blogversary to you & the incredible group collaborating with you each month to handle the herculean task of figuring out expiring Netflix movies! Great job by all involved!
Nobel was commissioned by NRK; Netflix appears only to own streaming rights in English-speaking countries. It is clearly set to expire on 11/06, at least on my account.
Double checked. It is indeed expiring on that day.
I think there's a difference between Netflix original series/movies and those that Netflix just distributes as an exclusive for various areas. It can get confusing especially when they slap a big red N on the picture.
Nobel is apparently one of those in the latter category.
I have found quite a few of these lists of expiring Netflix content, but I only discovered this page a couple of weeks ago. I wish I had found it this past March. I planned to watch the movie "Along Came a Spider" (based on a novel by James Patterson) at some point in the spring. None of the other sites listed it as leaving Netflix on March 31. I didn't think to check this myself by looking at the movie in my list. But at some point in April, I found that it was gone. Fortunately, I am also a Netflix DVD subscriber, and I was able to get it from there. In fact, that's how I learned that it was gone. When a movie in my DVD queue is also on the streaming service, I get a button marked Play on the website version (but not in the Android and iPad apps). The Play button was suddenly gone from "Along Come a Spider". Yes, I put most movies available on streaming Netflix into my DVD queue precisely because of situations like this. I usually keep them at the bottom. So I moved this one up closer to the top. But I was really peeved that none of the other sites showed it as leaving. This site's page that covers that period does show it as leaving at the end of March 2020. I am also more diligent about checking expiration dates of movies on my list now.
frustrating experience, wasn't it? i'm sure most of us have a very similar story that led us to monitoring our own streaming lists more closely and eventually finding this group of contributors. welcome.
Hi Regina, Couple things that might be helpful if you don't already know about them: Some streaming movies - particularly blockbusters - are streaming for as little as a month, so it's important to find out about them as soon as possible. One site that tells you everything that was added each day is New on Netflix USA @: https://usa.newonnetflix.info/
They also give everything that was removed each day (after the fact). Occasionally, something gets removed without any notice from Netflix, so you can see if anything that wasn't on our list expired.
If you watch TV series, sometimes Netflix removes only some of the seasons from a show. When that is the case, it won't show up on your Netflix list. The only place where there's a notice is on the actual episodes of the expiring season/s. It flashes in the upper left corner of the screen when an expiring episode begins. And only once per day per season unless you change profiles. Sad to say, we've missed a number of these sneaky expiring seasons.
To all the contributors to our site, who are the reason we have more expiring titles than any place else - and often sooner, you guys and gals are THE BEST!
What I noticed watching "Once upon the time" and "Charmed" was that expiration notice was shown at the beginning of the episode, when I stop and play again and when I pause it. Both titles was in Netflix press release and show expiring date on computer my list month before.
Hi Anna - thanks for writing. Let me clarify the problem I was referring to: Both Once Upon a Time and Charmed had all of the streaming seasons expire at the same time. When that is the case, yes, My List will show the "available until" date.
But there is another scenario, which is what I was writing about. It is when not all seasons are scheduled to expire at the same time. For example, say a series has seasons 1-6 streaming. Netflix is going to expire seasons 1 and 2, but continue to stream 3-6. Then there will not be any availability notice on My List, and unless someone happens to watch one of the expiring episodes, and sees the notice when it starts, we won't know that season is leaving until it's too late. I think this is my least favorite thing Netflix does.
Sorry to be taking up room here - kind of breaking my own rules - but I think it's important that everyone is aware of this problem, especially because the notice can flash very quickly, and if someone doesn't know to always check, it's easy to miss.
Not sure what you mean by your "downloads," but there is no availability notice for The Green Hornet on the Netflix website as there would be if it were expiring: https://www.netflix.com/title/70117699
If you have different info, please tell us what device and which app you are seeing it on. Thanks.
If you have downloaded content (to an iPad, for example), the download may expire after a certain period of time even though the content is still available on Netflix.
Thanks Wellesley72, I'd forgotten about that. I'm very low-tech - no iPad, never download movies. So glad those of you who are more up-to-date are here to explain things. Anonymous, I hope this resolves the discrepancy between what you're seeing and what's on the Netflix website.
Everybody here is right, unfortunately. Here's what's going on: I compared the Total Drama info on Netflix to that on IMDb, and it doesn't match for every season. This is probably why Netflix uses names for the seasons instead of numbers. Total Number of episodes on IMDb: 120 Total Number of episodes on NF: 104 If you compare episodes on IMDb with those on NF, they are mixed up. It looks like season 1 (IMDb) and Island (NF) are mostly a match, also season 2 and Action. But things get messy starting with All Stars on NF. All Stars (13 ep. NF) plus Pahkitew (13 ep. NF) mostly match up with season 5 on IMDb (not seasons 3 & 4, as one would think). After that, I got a little lost in trying to match things, and didn't have time to sort it all out. Not all episode titles match, so it's not easy. In conclusion, both IMDb and NF show 5 seasons, and all episodes NF has play just fine - so to that extent, will g is correct. However, Netflix doesn't have all of the series episodes, and has mixed up the seasons, so Sharon and Anonymous are also correct. I couldn't determine if any of the seasons 3 & 4 episodes are on Netflix, but they may well not be. Note to Netflix: Naughty, naughty.
What a mess, thank you Carol for taking the time to compare the episodes with IMDb, which I probably should have before spouting off. I can't recall another case like this.
"Bad News Bears" shown for November 30 is indeed the 2005 remake. The 1976 more highly regarded original is not streaming on Netflix at this time. Plus, the actual title of the original is "The Bad News Bears".
Incidentally, I like the way this site uses the way I was taught to alphabetize way back in elementary school: The words "the", "a", and "an" are ignored, and the titles are shown alphabetized on the second word. Some of the other sites that list what's leaving or coming to Netflix include these three articles in their alphabetization.
My preferred alphabetization would put "Bad News Bears" (2005) and "The Bad News Bears" (1976) together, as well as "Help" (1965) and "The Help" (2011). However, I think that the official title of the 1965 movie, which starred the Beatles, is "Help!", so they would be exactly the same.
Hi Regina, I have responded to the "A, An, & The" issue on our Discussions & Ideas page. We actually only alphabetize by the second word for "The" titles. I've explained why in my comment there.
According to IMDb, "The Little Prince became the most successful French animated film ever, grossing $97 million worldwide." It was a Netflix exclusive in the U.S. and U.K., but a theatrical release otherwise.
This isn't their film. Paramount was supposed to release it theatrically in the U.S. but pulled it one week before its release, and Netflix bought the rights for here, Britain and Australia and called it a "Netflix film." Films that Netflix outright owns shouldn't ever expire.
i just wanted to give him or her credit for how absurd it looks and the logical leaps it takes to understand. if netflix is calling it a "Netflix Film" (or "Netflix Series" for the below), it's kind of funny to argue "This isn't their film." the banner, category, and marketing do give the customer a false sense of security and a sense of poor quality control if their own movies, series, (documentaries, standups...) expire.
(Netflix had worldwide rights to this Chinese series, so it comes close to being a Netflix Original that's expiring. But it was first shown on TV in China.)
Important correction - Despite IMDb saying Netflix had worldwide rights, they didn't for Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines per Wikipedia. Have to be accurate!

DeleteWhat happened to season 3 and 4 of total drama island on Netflix
ReplyDelete"Total Drama" is a 5-season series, the first of which is called "Island." All 5 seasons are currently available.
