Netflix has announced the list of movies and TV shows that will be leaving the streaming platform in April 2023. Every month, the streaming platform refreshes its library of content by removing certain titles in order to release new content. April’s list sees the removal of a bunch of great TV shows and movies, including Leap Year, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and all seasons of Ash vs. Evil Dead.
Fan-favorite movies like Brokeback Mountain, 30 Minutes or Less, Forrest Gump, It, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy will be leaving Netflix soon. April also sees the exit of beloved TV shows like all three seasons of Turbo Fast, The Mr. Peabody and Sherman Show, and all five seasons of The IT Crowd. While loyal Netflix viewers are bound to be disappointed by the removal of most of these titles, one particular exit is sure to leave fans upset.
All seven seasons of popular American sitcom New Girl will be unavailable to stream on Netflix from April. One of Netflix’s most popular shows, the Zooey Deschanel-led series follows the adventures of Jessica Day, a quirky and offbeat woman in her thirties who moves into an apartment with three single men, Nick, Schmidt, and Winston, after a difficult breakup.
Well-received by audiences and critics alike, New Girl received critical acclaim for its sharp writing, talented ensemble cast, and fresh take on the classic sitcom format. Following its exit from Netflix, the series will be streaming on Hulu and Peacock.
