Gillian Anderson thriller The Fall leaving Netflix but available on BBC iPlayer

The critically acclaimed BBC thriller The Fall, starring Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan, is set to leave Netflix on 31 July. However, viewers who haven't yet caught the series can still watch all three seasons on BBC iPlayer.

The show, first broadcast on BBC Two in 2013, is set in Belfast and follows Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson (Anderson) as she investigates a series of murders linked to a serial killer. Dornan plays Paul Spector, a seemingly ordinary family man who is actually responsible for the killings, leading to a tense cat-and-mouse game.

Created and written by Allan Cubitt, known for his work on Prime Suspect, the series was an instant hit with critics and viewers alike. One fan on IMDb described it as 'very scary and dark', praising its writing, direction, and acting. Another called it 'the best psychological thriller I've seen in ages'.

While Netflix will no longer carry the series after July, BBC iPlayer offers an alternative for those who want to watch or revisit the show. The entire run of The Fall remains available on the platform, ensuring fans don't miss out on the gripping drama.
