Why Does Netflix Remove Movies and Series from Its Catalog?
If you’ve ever noticed one of your favorite shows or movies disappearing from Netflix, you’re not alone.
Titles come and go from the catalog regularly, often leaving subscribers wondering why. Here are the
main reasons behind these removals.
Licensing Agreements Expire
Netflix doesn’t own all the content on its platform. Many titles are licensed from studios, and these
agreements are temporary. When a license expires, Netflix must renegotiate to keep the title. If the
cost is too high or the rights holder has other plans—like moving the content to another platform—the
title is removed.
Low Viewership
If a movie or series isn’t attracting enough viewers, Netflix may decide not to renew its license. With
limited space in the catalog, the platform focuses on keeping content that resonates with its audience.
Competition from Other Platforms
The rise of competing streaming services has led to studios reclaiming their content. For example,
titles from Disney, Warner Bros., and Universal often leave Netflix to become exclusive to Disney+, Max,
or Peacock.
Cost of Renewal
Renewing the license for a popular title can be expensive. Netflix weighs the cost of renewal against
viewership data and its overall strategy. Sometimes, even highly rated titles are removed because
they’re no longer financially viable to keep.
While it’s frustrating to lose a favorite movie or series, these changes are part of the way Netflix
curates its catalog. And for every title that leaves, plenty of new ones arrive to take its place. Keep
exploring and don't forget to check what's leaving soon
— you never know what hidden gem you’ll find next!
Which Netflix Library Is the Largest Right Now?
Not all Netflix libraries are created equal, and the size of the catalog
varies greatly depending on your location. At the
moment, Sweden boasts one of the largest Netflix libraries, with
just over 4,700
movies and TV shows available. This makes it a treasure trove for binge-watchers, offering a broad mix
of international and local content.
On the other hand, South Africa’s Netflix library is among the smallest, with less than 2,800 titles.
Regional licensing agreements and viewer demand play a big role in these differences, meaning some
countries get access to more content than others.
If you’re looking for ways to explore more titles,
using a VPN to access other countries’
libraries is a
popular option — though it comes with its own limitations and risks. Still, with thousands of titles in
every region, there’s no shortage of great content to watch!
Netflix Roulette: Finding Your Next Watch Made Easy
With thousands of titles available on Netflix, deciding what to watch can feel like an impossible task.
That’s where Netflix roulette and random generators come in.
These handy tools take the decision-making out of your hands by selecting a movie or series for you at
random.
All you need to do is hit a button, and voilà—your next binge-worthy title is ready to go. Some tools
even let you filter by genre, IMDb rating, or release year, so the randomness still aligns with your
preferences.
Whether you’re tired of scrolling or just want to discover something unexpected, Netflix roulette is a
fun way to shake up your viewing habits. Popular options like
Flixboss’s randomizer make it easy to
break free from decision fatigue and dive into something new. Who
knows? Your next favorite movie or series might be just a click away.
How to Find IMDb Ratings for Movies on Netflix
Ever started watching a movie on Netflix only to realize halfway through that it’s not worth your time?
Checking IMDb ratings before hitting play can save you from this frustration. While Netflix doesn’t
display IMDb ratings directly, there are easy ways to find this information. Tools like Chrome
extensions or apps, such as Trim or Netflix Enhancer, overlay IMDb ratings and other details right onto
your Netflix interface, making it simple to gauge a movie’s quality at a glance.
Alternatively, there are sites that combine Netflix’s catalog with IMDb ratings, so you can
search for titles by score before you even open Netflix.
Whether you’re in the mood for a 9/10
masterpiece or just something above 6 to pass the time, IMDb ratings are a great way to make your
streaming choices smarter.
