In May, Netflix had already prepared a list of movies and some TV shows that would make their way out of the platform. Those who have been using Netflix for a long time know that the streaming platform undergoes some purging at the end of each month. The service notified Fanfare that some movies would be removed due to licensing issues.
Netflix, on their help page, has already explained why they usually remove some movie titles at the end of the month. The primary reason lies in the licensing agreements. Whenever a movie or a series' licensing rights expire, the platform quickly removes even new films on Netflix to avoid breaking laws. "Netflix licenses TV shows and movies from studios around the world. Though we strive to keep the titles you want to watch, some leave Netflix because of licensing agreements," Netflix explained.
Before removing a movie from their streaming platform, Netflix says that they first consider" If the rights to the title are still available" and "How popular it is in a region, and how much it costs to license." So within April, Netflix went through this procedure and selected a list of movies that would leave their platform in May.
