What Are The Shows and Movies Leaving Netflix in January 2022?

After pulling in impressive numbers since their addition to Netflix back in July 2021, every Twilight movie is now set to leave Netflix but only in the United States in January 2022.

Grossing over 3 billion in the box office and plenty of money ever since, The Twilight Saga is perhaps the crown jewel in the Lionsgate / Summit Entertainment arsenal.

Over the summer, Netflix announced it would be licensing all five of the movies with them arriving on July 16th, 2021.

Now, as we know, Lionsgate licensed Netflix the movies for six months with all five movies set to depart Netflix on January 16th, 2022. That means your last day to watch the movies on Netflix is January 15th.

It looks like several of fan favourite programmes are being taken off the streaming platform in January 2022 – most notably the very much-loved sitcom New Girl.

While fans across the pond in US with be able to continue watching the adventures of Jess Day and her dysfunctional flatmates, the show will be taken down for Netflix in the UK, Europe and Australia.

Unfortunately, New Girl isn't the only show with a huge fanbase that is set to leave Netflix, as Modern Family, Prison Break, How I Met Your Mother, Homeland and Sons of Anarchy will also taken off the service in early January. What on earth is going to be left?!

Netflix UK lost four massive TV shows from its library on January 1st when we see a departure new girlAnd modern familyAnd How do I meet your mother, And sons of anarchy. That would be tens of hours, maybe weeks of content able to indulge me leaving the UK library.

It's not all bad news for Netflix in 2022, and the streaming service's wildly popular series Stranger Things will be back for season four.
