Netflix is set to remove several films and TV shows in February, including the critically acclaimed thriller series The Capture. The show, which originally aired on the BBC, will be taken off the streaming platform as part of a routine content purge due to expiring licence deals.
The Capture, created by Ben Chanan, premiered on Netflix in 2019 and explores deepfake technology through the investigations of DCI Rachel Carey, played by Holliday Grainger. The first series follows an ex-soldier (Callum Turner), while the second focuses on a politician portrayed by Paapa Essiedu. Despite its removal from Netflix, the series remains available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
Fans of the show will be pleased to learn that a third series is set to air on the BBC this spring, offering a perfect opportunity to catch up before its return. The show had been uncertain for a third run, but the wait is almost over.
Other titles leaving Netflix in February include Ratones Paranoicos: The Band That Rocked Argentina and The Yin-Yang Master: Dream Of Eternity, both Netflix Originals. The full list of removals has been compiled with assistance from What’s on Netflix.
