Netflix: 9 Shows Leaving This Week

It is time again for Netflix‘s roster to trim down this week, and some of the platform’s best hidden gems are saying goodbye.

There are a lot of exciting new things coming to Netflix in the near future, but as always, that means that other programs need to leave the catalogue. Netflix is ditching some foreign and unscripted series this week, many of which have only one season on the platform or less.

The titles being culled from your queue this week are almost entirely docuseries. The shows feature clear and concise looks at aspects of life many people have no experience with, keeping the public informed on science, environmentalism or culture.

Others may be less impactful, but no less fun to watch. Netflix is saying goodbye to some heart-pounding action shows, thoughtful retrospectives and even one glimpse into the world’s strangest mysteries.

As always, the platform gave fans a little warning that the shows were leaving. All of them have their expiration dates listed on the website’s “overview” tab, and many appear in Netflix’s “Leaving Soon” category. Still, it never hurts to check and see if one of your favorites, or something you’ve been meaning to get to is about to leave for good.

Here is a look at nine shows leaving Netflix this week.

‘A Man Called God’

South Korean action series A Man Called God left Netflix on Monday, Feb. 11.

‘Cain and Abel’

Korean drama Cain and Abel also left Netflix on Monday. The show followed two brothers — one who is a talented doctor and one who is jealous and spiteful. The two find a lot of conflict in their love lives, as they are both in enamored with the same woman. They also battle for their father’s love.
