What's Leaving Netflix This Month

Netflix: A Hub of Entertainment

The ever-popular streaming service Netflix features a bevy of new content that comes and goes each month, but some key shows and movies are leaving in January 2024. Since its inception, Netflix has positioned itself as the preeminent streaming service, and they were one of the first to delve into the world of original content, which has produced hit shows like Stranger Things and Orange is the New Black. However, the streamer also has a great reputation for hosting other content, and they are a one-stop-shop for everything from classic series to some of Hollywood's biggest films.

The streamer has to change its lineup from month to month, and that means that shows and movies are leaving the service all the time. While Netflix's comings and goings aren't all that unusual, the dropping of certain original content in recent months has represented a major change for the company. Though many of Netflix's longest-running originals seem to be there to stay, other shows and movies are departing the streamer for new homes or are simply being dropped altogether from the service. While some things might be gone for good, the departures open the door for brand-new content in the coming months.

January Departures

January is set to bid farewell to a lineup of beloved shows and movies on Netflix. Two Oscar-winning movies, BlacKkKlansman (2018) and Get Out (2017) are among the first to leave on January 5. These films, both associated with Jordan Peele, have made a significant impact on popular culture and will be missed by many subscribers. Additionally, Love Island USA: Season 2 will also be departing on the same day.

On January 12, the original Spy Kids trilogy will be removed from the platform. Directed by Robert Rodriguez, these family-friendly adventures have been a staple on Netflix, but their departure marks the end of an era for fans of the series. Another notable departure on January 14 is the successful video game adaptation, Uncharted (2022), starring Tom Holland. Despite mixed reviews, this movie has garnered a substantial following and will leave a void for its fans.

The month continues to see more departures, with The Real World: Season 28 bidding adieu on January 19. This ground-breaking reality show has been a favorite among fans of the genre and its absence will be felt by many. The Killing of a Sacred Deer, a psychological thriller featuring Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan, will leave Netflix on January 22, just in time for the award season. Lastly, the romantic comedy Begin Again, starring Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley, will make its exit on January 24, leaving subscribers with a bittersweet farewell.

End of the Month Departures

As January draws to a close, Netflix subscribers will have to say goodbye to an array of titles. The acclaimed musical La La Land, which stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, will be departing at the end of the month, along with the coming-of-age drama Call Me By Your Name, which earned Timothee Chalamet his first Oscar nomination. Additionally, the true-crime story of The Bling Ring, the best-seller adaptation Eat Pray Love, and Michael Bay's war movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi will all be leaving on January 31, marking the end of an era for these beloved films.

In terms of series, Survivor: Season 32 and the first season of the family-friendly animated series Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs will also bid farewell at the end of January, taking with them a piece of Netflix's diverse content offering. As the month comes to a close, subscribers are reminded to catch these titles before they disappear, making way for new and exciting content in the months ahead.
