Netflix users won’t be too happy to discover one of its greatest original films is being removed.
In recent years, subscribers have grown frustrated by the streaming service’s removal of titles released under the “Original” label – with casualties including the TV shows Hemlock Grove and The Alienist and horror film His House.
The latest film to receive the axe is Annihilation, Alex Garland’s sci-fi horror that was exclusively made available in the UK on the streamer exactly seven years ago.
Annihilation – an adaptation of the first book in Jeff Vandermeer’s Southern Reach trilogy – stars Natalie Portman as a biologist who volunteers for a secret mission into alien territory of which previous attempts to explore met with disastrous results.

The reason for its removal is most likely due to the expiration of a rights deal with the film’s distributor, Paramount. Interestingly, the film’s removal coincides with the announcement of a screening at BFI IMAX on 28 April.
Below is a full list of every movie leaving Netflix in March 2025. The Independent compiled this list with help from What’s on Netflix.
