Netflix has unveiled its official roster of movies and television shows scheduled to depart the streaming platform throughout July 2026, marking a significant turnover in its content library.

The list, released this week, represents the latest wave of content removals driven by expiring licensing agreements. While the streaming giant routinely refreshes its catalog to make room for new acquisitions and original programming, the July lineup signals a major blow for fans of the horror genre.

Multiple films from the iconic Saw franchise are on the chopping block, alongside other notable thrillers and cult classics. However, the impact on television content appears minimal this month, with only a handful of series slated for departure.

Horror Fans Brace for Major Losses

The most significant casualties of the July culling are in the horror and thriller categories. The platform will be losing a substantial portion of the Saw universe, with multiple installments scheduled to vanish from the service on July 19. This includes the franchise’s early entries and the seventh film, Saw: The Final Chapter, as well as the 2017 film Jigsaw.

Additionally, the classic zombie film Night of the Living Dead is set to depart on July 4, while Hostel: Part III and The Roommate are also listed among the exits in early July. Silent House and Side Effects round out the list of psychological thrillers and horror titles leaving later in the month.

Industry observers note that the departure of the Saw films comes just four months after they were added to the service, a common occurrence in the streaming space where content rights often shift between platforms.

Film Lineup Features Diverse Fare

Beyond the horror genre, the removals list for July 1 includes a diverse mix of films spanning several decades and genres. High-profile titles such as the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody and the action-adventure film Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle will be leaving at the start of the month. Other notable departures include the crime drama American Hustle, the fantasy action film Hellboy, and the romantic comedy My Best Friend’s Wedding.

The list also features the 1998 erotic thriller Wild Things, which developed a cult following since its release, as well as the classic tearjerker Steel Magnolias and the comedy Runaway Bride. Keanu Reeves’ cyberpunk thriller Johnny Mnemonic is also slated to leave, giving fans a limited window to revisit the 1995 cult classic.

Animated content is also affected, with Paw Patrol: The Movie and the entire Madagascar franchise scheduled to depart on July 1, a potential disappointment for families with young children.

Limited Impact on TV Series

In contrast to the large volume of film removals, the impact on television programming is relatively light. As of the current announcement, only two series are listed for removal: the sitcom The Bernie Mac Show (Seasons 1-5) and the supernatural drama Between (Seasons 1-2).

However, other reports indicate that Gilmore Girls (Seasons 1-7) is also scheduled to leave the U.S. platform on June 30, effectively missing the July list but still representing a significant loss for subscribers. Sex and the City is also set to depart on July 30.
