Tonight, Netflix Is Deleting Basically Everything


We recently brought you a list of all the shows and movies leaving Netflix in February. At the time, we cautioned that some additional titles might be removed on the last day of the month. Instead of “some”, we should have said “a metric-butt-tonne”.

Over the next two days, Netflix Australia is chopping over 60 more movies and TV shows, including Jaws, Gladiator, Mean Girls, Nanny McPhee and – nooo! – What We Do In The Shadows. Here’s the full list.

Netflix is adding some great content this week, including around 30 third-party movies. Unfortunately, what Netflix gives with one hand it takes away with the other. Over the next couple of days, no fewer than 65 movies and TV shows will be axed from the service. That’s on top of everything that was already deleted this month.

(Everything coming to the service for the week of February 25 to March 3.)”]

Here’s the full list, with an official synopsis for each movie. (We’ve also included trailers to the films we like or that we think look interesting.)
