We’ve already told you about all the exciting new titles coming to Netflix this month, but with that good news also comes bad: Some beloved projects are leaving the service throughout the month. You never know when something might pop up on streaming again (or which of the many services it’ll go to next), so the next few weeks could be your last opportunity for a while to check out some of these fantastic movies and television series.
We’ve got your comprehensive guide to everything that’s dropping off Netflix’s collection this month, including a few highlights that we definitely recommend seeing before they’re gone.
Must-Watch Movies and Shows Leaving Netflix in October 2026
A Quiet Place Part II (Leaving 10/11/26)
In this 2020 American post-apocalyptic horror film, the family from A Quiet Place (2018) continues to navigate a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind aliens with an acute sense of hearing.
Scream (Leaving 10/8/26)
Wes Craven reinvented the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever, and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high school students in middle-class suburbia.
The Hunger Games (Leaving 10/14/26)
In what was once North America, the Capitol of Panem maintains its hold on its 12 districts by forcing them each to select a boy and a girl, called Tributes, to compete in a nationally televised event called the Hunger Games. Every citizen must watch as the youths fight to the death until only one remains. District 12 Tribute Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has little to rely on, other than her hunting skills and sharp instincts, in an arena where she must weigh survival against love.
