Netflix will remove 156 movies on January 1, 2026, due to expiring licensing agreements. This is a significantly larger number than usual. The removals include critically acclaimed films such as "Captain Phillips," "Judas and the Black Messiah," "Mad Max: Fury Road," "The Martian," and "Terminator 2: Judgement Day." These titles are recommended for streaming before their removal. Netflix typically removes 30-40 titles monthly, but the January 2026 purge is more than triple that amount, impacting its content library substantially.
