November is shaping up to be a pivotal month for Netflix subscribers. As Netflix gears up for a fresh lineup of shows and movies, it’s also clearing out its library, saying goodbye to numerous titles, including 12 original series and films. This mass exodus will be happening throughout the month, making it crucial for viewers to catch their favorites before they vanish.
Major Departures in the First Week
The month kicks off with a significant wave of departures. On November 2nd, the French-Canadian series Can You Hear Me? will bid adieu. This poignant show, which revolves around a group of friends navigating life in a low-income neighborhood, has charmed many since its second season premiered five years ago.
Just four days later, on November 6th, Netflix Family will see the exit of the beloved Care Bears & Cousins Seasons 1 and 2 and the 2020 film Citation. Following close behind on November 7th is the anime series Fate/Apocrypha and the stand-up special The Improv: 60 and Still Standing, featuring fan favorites like Craig Robinson and Fortune Feimster.
Second Week Bittersweetness
The second week brings more heart-wrenching farewells. On November 10th, the Japanese coming-of-age drama Atelier (also known as Underwear) will leave the catalog. This series, known for its touching exploration of youth and relationships, will be missed by those who tuned in.
Another title to watch for is Season 1 of Oh My Ghost, which is centered on a shy chef unexpectedly possessed by a cheeky spirit. This intriguing series will disappear on November 13th, urging fans to catch up while they still can.
Third Week’s Notable Exclusions
As November unfolds, even more Netflix originals will vanish. November 16th marks the exit of the psychological horror film Cam, which explores the unsettling tale of a cam girl whose identity is hijacked. Subsequently, on November 17th, Trolls: The Beat Goes On!—the animated series that has delighted families for years—will leave the platform after eight successful seasons.
On November 20th, the unique food docuseries Flavorful Origins, which delves into Chinese cuisine, will also be making its exit.
Closing Out the Month
As the month nears its end, Netflix will wrap up this wave of departures with two more notable titles. The Japanese romantic drama The Many Faces of Ito will exit on November 24th, followed by the musical documentary Shawn Mendes: Live in Concert on November 25th. The loss of these titles will leave many fans lamenting the sudden void in Netflix’s diverse catalog.
A New Wave of Arrivals
While Netflix is saying goodbye to many beloved originals, it is also welcoming several new and exciting titles. Among the highlights are the Back to the Future franchise, Crazy Rich Asians, Paddington 2, and Wonka, all ready to join the library on November 1st. Viewers can also look forward to the much-anticipated Season 2 of Squid Game: The Challenge on November 4th, followed by the classic Labyrinth and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein on November 7th.
For those keen on staying updated, now is the time to explore what’s leaving and what’s coming. The interplay of losses and gains this November promises to keep viewers engaged and on their toes.
