Prepare for one of the largest culls in Netflix history, with a huge number of TV shows and films leaving the platform this month

A brand new year means a brand new list of titles set to leave the UK version of Netflix in January. But rather than taking a few from the platform, Netflix subscribers might be overwhelmed with just how many titles will be leaving the streaming platform.

On Janaury 1, 196 titles were removed from Netflix, with January also seeing one of the streaming platforms most viewed titled, The Office (US), having all nine seasons removed from the platform later in the month, alongside other popular titles such as Clueless and all three of The Hobbit movies.

Reasons for the removals range from Netflix undertaking cost-cutting measures after 2022 saw them make a monetary loss for the first time since its inception and losing or allowing various film licences to lapse, through to the new wave of streaming services on offer not just from broadcasters but film and television studios themselves.

For example, Amazon Prime has the rights to The Hobbit franchise which might mean all three The Hobbit movies, starring Martin Freeman as Frodo, may move to Netflix’s rival platform, much in the same way as Scream 4 might end up on Paramount+ (given other Scream titles have appeared on the platform.)

In other cases though, it’s a simple case of viewers’ lack of interest in titles that have led Netflix not to renew their licence. Do not fret, however - Netflix have also revealed a series of titles that will make their debut on the platform this month too.
