Netflix Removing 132 Titles Including Dunkirk, Preacher in August 2025

In August 2025, Netflix will remove 132 titles from its platform, including notable films such as Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, Alfred Hitchcock classics Psycho and Rear Window, and family favorites like Matilda and The Lego Movie. The removals stem from expired licensing agreements, prompting viewers to finish watching their favorites before they vanish. Despite the loss, Netflix is also adding new content, including the original film The Thursday Murder Club, based on Richard Osman's bestselling novel, and popular titles like The Departed and Jurassic Park, catering to diverse tastes. Additionally, Netflix quietly canceled a wrestling documentary series with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score after one season, with potential for revival on another streaming service. Meanwhile, HBO Max, recently rebranded back from Max, is also losing several beloved movies after July 31, such as Pretty Woman, Sherlock Holmes, and Where the Wild Things Are, urging viewers to catch these before they leave. The ongoing content shifts reflect the dynamic nature of streaming catalogs as platforms balance acquisitions and expirations to refresh their offerings.
