Netflix and HBO Max September 2026 Departures
Netflix September 2026: Every Movie and Show Leaving the Streamer on September 1 (Netflixjunkie)
Summary: Netflix will remove a long list of movies and shows, including Black Lightning, Orphan Black, Rocky, Don’t Breathe and The Fault in Our Stars, from its U.S. library on September 1, 2026. The September 1 removals include a mixed bag of movies across decades, genres, and audiences, plus five series in a variety of genres and formats. The list includes a mix of licensed titles and a Netflix Original, with some departures boasting full multi-season runs. Netflix usually only licenses a show from another studio or network for a specific amount of time, and when that deal expires, Netflix may remove the title if the two sides cannot reach an extension of the rights.
Why it matters: Even popular shows are not guaranteed to stay, since the libraries on streaming services are always shifting due to licensing terms, availability, and business decisions, which is also the reason why you sometimes see known titles vanish after a limited run on the platform.
Context: With departure notices now appearing, it may be time to go through your watchlist before some hot picks disappear from the streamer.
"Netflix is set to remove a long list of movies and shows, including Black Lightning, Orphan Black, Rocky, Don’t Breathe and The Fault in Our Stars, from its U.S. library on September 1, 2026, giving subscribers just days to catch up on titles they may have saved for later." — NETFLIXJUNKIE
Commentary: The September 1 departures include five series, in a variety of genres and formats, giving subscribers plenty to binge before they are gone. The list includes a mix of licensed titles and a Netflix Original, with some departures boasting full multi-season runs. If you have been holding on to any of these shows for later, you might want to bump them up on your watch list, as the September 1 deadline means there is limited time left to stream them on the platform.
