Netflix is dropping 52 movies and 7 series next week (April 5, 2025)

Every month, Netflix has to purge some of its catalog and make room for new arrivals. Still, the first week of April 2025 is rough. If you wanted to catch many of the films below, you have two days left.

There is no way to binge-watch everything that is leaving. That is true even if you line up several TVs and your computer(s) next to each other and play different things at once. Don't do that because that would be weird (or would it?).

Several franchises are leaving on day one of the month. The excellent Rush Hour films and early Karate Kid movies are gone, as are several animated movies that are worth watching. Here is everything that is leaving in the first week of the month, though.

The first week of April 2025 will find 52 movies and seven series leaving Netflix

Is it wrong to have R. Kelly stuff leaving on the same day as Powerpuff Girls things? Yes, we believe it is.

April 4

• Blackfish (2013)

Both of these films are worth watching, though watching them back-to-back might be off-putting. They, ahem...deal with different subject matters. Both are somewhat sad, however.

If you love Motu Patlu, this is a bad day for you. We are sorry.
