Netflix UK is set to remove a significant number of films and television series in April 2026, with some titles disappearing without prior notice. Unlike in the United States, where the streaming service announces removals in advance, UK subscribers are not typically warned about upcoming deletions.
One of the most notable titles leaving the platform on Tuesday, 31 March, is the acclaimed drama series Dexter. The show, which follows a serial killer who works as a forensic technician, has been available on Netflix UK for two years. Its removal is due to the expiration of licensing rights.
A full list of every movie and TV show being removed from Netflix in April 2026 has been compiled by The Independent, alongside a separate list of new additions to the service. Among the departing titles is the Netflix Original Demetri Martin: Demetri Deconstructed, which will be removed in both the UK and US.
Subscribers are advised to check their watchlists and catch any favourite programmes before they vanish. The removals highlight the transient nature of streaming content, where licensing agreements can lead to sudden unavailability.
