Netflix has announced the removal of seven television series from its platform this April, sparking disappointment among subscribers. The list includes critically acclaimed British dramas, a cult comedy, and international hits.
Among the titles set to depart is the BBC sci-fi crime drama Life on Mars, which follows Detective Sam Tyler (John Simm) as he travels back in time from 2006 to 1973. The series, which ran from 2006 to 2007, spawned the spin-off Ashes to Ashes.
Also leaving is the ITV drama Hatton Garden, starring Timothy Spall, based on the 2015 heist in London's diamond district. The BBC's The Missing, starring James Nesbitt and Tchéky Karyo, which aired from 2014 to 2016, will also be removed.
Fans of British comedy will lose The IT Crowd (2006–2013), featuring Chris O'Dowd and Richard Ayoade, and Greg Davies' sitcom Man Down (2013–2017). International offerings include the anime Seraph of the End and the Spanish-language miniseries Monzón: A Knockout Blow, based on the life of Argentine boxer Carlos Monzón.
Viewers have until the end of April to stream these shows before they are permanently removed from the platform.
