Netflix is preparing for a significant content purge in February 2026, with a vast array of films and television series scheduled for removal from the platform. Among the high-profile departures is the critically acclaimed BBC thriller The Capture, a show that has garnered a dedicated following since its debut.
A Major Library Reduction for the Streaming Giant
Every month, Netflix refreshes its catalogue with new titles, but this process also involves the loss of content due to expiring licensing agreements. The upcoming February removal list is extensive, affecting a wide range of genres and including titles previously branded as "Netflix Originals". This highlights the transient nature of content on subscription streaming services.
The Departure of a British Gem
The impending removal of The Capture is particularly notable for UK audiences. The deepfake conspiracy thriller, created by Ben Chanan, first premiered in 2019 and delivered a gripping second series in 2022. The show stars Holliday Grainger as DCI Rachel Carey, who investigates complex, technology-driven mysteries.
The timing of its Netflix exit is intriguing, as a brand new series is confirmed to air on the BBC this spring. For fans who have been waiting for news of a third season, the wait is nearly over. While it leaves Netflix, the existing series remain available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
