While Netflix does display “Leaving Soon” banners inside the app, exact dates can vary slightly by region, so it’s best to plan your viewing ahead of time.
Below is a complete, easy-to-follow listicle of everything leaving Netflix in February 2026, along with smart viewing priorities so you don’t miss the essentials.

In total, 111 or more Netflix Originals are scheduled to leave in 2026, with 10 exiting in February alone.
Horror, Action, and Crime Titles Leaving (February 16–21)
Mid-February is particularly tough for fans of thrillers and action-heavy storytelling.
- February 16: Ouija, The A-Team, Warrior (Seasons 1–3)

The final week includes popular TV comfort watches and newer films.
- February 22: Red, Rebellion (Seasons 1–2), Paris Is Us
- February 24: The Island
- February 25: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Watcher

The removal of Brooklyn Nine-Nine seasons will be especially disappointing for repeat viewers and casual binge-watchers.
What Netflix’s February 2026 Purge Means for Viewers
This month’s removals are heavily weighted toward classic films, horror staples, action titles, and long-running TV series. February 1 stands out as a major licensing reset, particularly for older movies and internationally licensed content.
Key points to remember:
- February 1 is the most important binge deadline
- Netflix Originals are no longer permanent fixtures
- Regional availability may differ slightly
- App banners are your final confirmation before removal
Final Binge Recommendations Before They Leave
If you can only watch a handful of titles before they disappear, prioritize:
- Parasite
- Groundhog Day
- Zodiac
- The Terminator
- She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Netflix rotates content constantly, and once these titles leave, there’s no guarantee they will return soon. If any of these are still on your watchlist, February 2026 is your last chance.
