Like many streamers, Netflix often rotates its ever-expanding list of titles, and TV shows or movies can be removed for a number of reasons. In its Help Centre, it states: "Though we strive to keep the titles you want to watch, some titles do leave Netflix because of licensing agreements."
It shows "last day to watch on Netflix" messaging on a title's Details page, and "at the top of the screen for a few seconds when the title starts playing".
Elsewhere, Disney+ recently announced that it would remove some of its own titles from its platform.
Willow, Cheaper by the Dozen and Y: The Last Man have all been removed from the platform alongside some Marvel shows such as Hero Project and Voices Rising: The Music of Wakanda Forever, as a means to cut costs.
