Netflix UK is set to remove a significant number of movies and TV shows this month, including the popular American drama series Dexter. Unlike in the US, where the streaming service announces removals in advance, UK subscribers are not given prior warning, meaning titles can disappear from watchlists without notice.
All eight seasons of Dexter, which follows a serial killer who works as a forensic technician for the police, will be taken down on Tuesday 31 April. The show was added to Netflix two years ago but is now being removed due to the expiration of licensing rights.
The Independent has compiled a full list of every film and TV show being removed from Netflix in April 2026, as well as a list of new additions to the service. New subscribers can sign up for £9.99 per month after a free trial, with the plan auto-renewing until cancelled.
This removal is part of a regular cycle of content turnover on Netflix, where licenses for third-party programming expire and are not always renewed. Viewers are advised to check their watchlists for any titles they wish to see before they vanish.
