Netflix removes dozens of movies and series in August 2026
Netflix will delete a large slate of titles from its catalogue in August 2026. The removals include films such as Uncharted, Grease, Prometheus, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Joker: Folie à Deux and many others. Several series lose only part of their run: the Spanish drama Locked Up (seasons 3‑4 and Locked Up: The Oasis) and the Japanese‑origin Midnight Diner (seasons 1‑3) will disappear while earlier seasons stay available. An earlier notice that all Studio Ghibli animation titles would leave was reversed after a rights renewal, so those films remain on the platform. In parallel, Netflix is adding new content for August 2026, with roughly 15 new movies and 26 new series, among them the documentary Big Chicken: A Fast‑Food Conspiracy and the thriller adaptation Der Kinderflüsterer starring Robert De Niro. The German‑language removal list also cites titles such as Batman’s Rückkehr, Justice League, Fifty Shades of Grey, Barbie and The French Dispatch. The combined changes affect viewers worldwide as Netflix reshapes its library for the summer season.
