Netflix axing huge string of films and TV shows next month – including huge horror franchise and legendary kids’ movie

EVERY month Netflix adds a bunch of new content to keep viewers entertained, but sadly is removes a lot, too.

In May 2024, Netflix subscribers will be forced to say goodbye to some of their favourite films and TV shows, including a legendary kids movie Despicable Me 3.

Netflix is pulling the plug on a big batch of its content in May. 

One of the biggest losses from the streamer will be the beloved kids movie Despicable Me 3, which has only been available for U.K. subscribers to stream for the past three months.

Netflix is also axing four of the movies in the Resident Evil horror franchise, as well as the Netflix original series Medici, which stars Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden. 

Other popular titles departing the streamer include the Samuel L. Jackson sports drama Coach Carter, animated action flick Kung Fu Panda 3, and six seasons of the beloved Channel 4 reality competition series Taskmaster.
