Netflix routinely removes some of its content as the streaming platform keeps adding new.
While the outgoing and incoming content does not follow a particular sequence, Netflix gives its subscribers an almost 30-day advance notice before removing any title. That often helps interested viewers to catch up on the show or movie before its departure.
While a host of movies left the platform in January 2024, another bunch is leaving in February. As such, subscribers may wonder why Netflix removes some titles periodically, but it's a contract-related necessity.
As per licencing agreements, there's a fixed period for which a show or movie can be available on the platform. Even for Netflix Originals, the same applies. After the period of licence is over, the rights of the originals go back to the owner who can, then, transfer the rights to a rival platform.
