Thankfully, Netflix subscribers, we have reached that time in March when there are not a lot of things leaving. That normally happens close to the beginning of the month and certainly at the end. This means you mostly have a chance to catch shows and movies that are leaving your favorite streaming service for a couple more weeks.

But what is leaving in the next week? We have that information. For the most part, it's fine, and you do not need to stress. One fine film features the red-hot acting career of Paul Mescal. You might recognize him from Gladiator II or his hosting a recent episode of Saturday Night Live. Is he ready to be a star? The success of his next projects might decide that.

But getting back to our intentions here, there are four movies leaving Netflix in the next week. If you will miss any of the below then hurry up! You are close to losing them.

Four movies will be leaving Netflix this week (March 16, 2025)

March 17

  • Sun of the Soil (2020)

Let's be real. This doc is not long enough for its subject matter. A modern artist takes a journey to figure out the importance of a 14th-century Malian king. That sounds quite interesting, and it should. But the documentary is only 26 minutes long, and we are left with a lot more questions than answers.

March 18

  • Deadly Illusions (2021)
  • Skylines (2020)

Skylines is a weird premise. There is a virus and it makes aliens who live on earth turn against humans, so some of the humans go to the alien's world. Confusing? A bit. The issue is that the special effects are just okay, and a movie like this needs greatness in that area.

March 21

  • Aftersun (2022)

The plot seems simple. A daughter looks back on the relationship she had with her father 20 years ago. But then, the film creators take a completely different approach. The daughter doesn't just remember real events but imaginary ones as well. And the father she thinks she knew might not be the one that actually existed.
