As another month rolls in, so does a fresh wave of content leaving Netflix. Whether it’s due to licensing agreements expiring or Netflix making room for new titles, May 2025 will see several beloved films and fan-favorite series disappear from the platform. If you’ve been putting off that rewatch or haven’t hit “play” on that show everyone keeps recommending — now’s the time.
We’ve rounded up some of the most notable titles leaving Netflix this month, along with why they’re worth watching before they vanish.
Inception (Leaving May 14)
Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending heist classic remains one of the most visually and conceptually ambitious films of the century. If you haven’t revisited this dream-within-a-dream thriller lately, now’s the time to dive back into the subconscious.
The Social Network (Leaving May 21)
David Fincher’s razor-sharp biopic of Facebook’s founding is still as relevant (and unsettling) as ever. With Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield delivering standout performances, this one deserves a rewatch.
Get Out (Leaving May 27)
Jordan Peele’s genre-defining horror film is a must-see for both horror and social commentary fans. Its cultural impact and critical acclaim make it one to watch — or revisit — before it’s gone.
Breaking Bad (Leaving May 31)
Yes, it’s really happening. Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are leaving the platform. If you haven’t experienced this Emmy-winning masterpiece — or need a refresher — clear your schedule.
Schitt’s Creek (Leaving May 25)
The Emmy-sweeping comedy that became a global comfort watch is bowing out. With its heartwarming characters and endlessly quotable lines, now’s your chance to binge one last time.
Paddington (Leaving May 18)
A charming, feel-good film that’s as delightful for kids as it is for adults. If you haven’t met this marmalade-loving bear yet, don’t miss out.
The Iron Giant (Leaving May 12)
An emotional animated classic that has stood the test of time. This one’s great for a family movie night — just keep tissues nearby.
Don’t Miss Your Last Chance
Netflix’s rotating library keeps things fresh, but that also means some favorites cycle out each month. Be sure to check your “My List” and give these titles one last watch before they disappear. After all, nothing’s worse than realizing your favorite movie is gone — right when you were finally in the mood for it.
