Netflix is removing a large selection of movies this month

Catch them before they disappear
Netflix removes a large section of titles each month and, depending where you are in the world, you won’t be warned.

While in the US , the streaming service announces which films and TV shows will be taken down ahead of time, this does not happen in the UK.

This means that, as well as the addition of a staggering amount of projects this month , a number of titles could vanish from your watchlist without you realising.

One such title vanishing on Tuesday (31 M) is Dexter , the American drama about a serial killer who lives a double life as a forensic technician working for the police department.

All eight seasons of the show were added two years ago, but they’re now being removed due to the expiration of licencing rights.

Fortunately, The Independent has compiled a full list of every movie and TV show being removed from Netflix in April 2026 – and find a compilation of everything being added to the service here .
