Netflix is about to remove a fan favourite title with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

Must read

Netflix removes a large section of titles each month – and usually without explicitly warning subscribers.

While in the US, the streaming service announces which films and TV shows will be taken down ahead of time, this does not happen in the UK. This means that, as well as the addition of a staggering amount of projects this month, a number of titles could suddenly disappear from your watchlist without you realising.

Fortunately, The Independent has compiled a full list of everything being removed from Netflix in July, so you know which titles to prioritise. (Find the full list of everything arriving in September – including one of “the best films of 2024” – here.)

One such TV series that’ll be taken down this month is Jane the Virgin, which ran for five seasons from 2014 to 2019. Starring Gina Rodriguez, the series has a 100 per cent score on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

Another is what is arguably Netflix’s most controversial release to date: Cuties – a French release that led to a Netflix backlash after the streamer was accused of sexualising children in the film’s “inappropriate” US marketing in 2020.

After the pile on, many jumped to the defence of director Maïmouna Doucouré, whose film was actually intended to be a criticism of the sexualisation of children.

NB: we put this list together with help from What’s on Netflix.
