It won't be long until these 10 romantic movies leave Netflix in May 2024

We're almost five months into the new year, and we can't believe we've gotten here so quickly. In May 2024, we can expect to see a lot of new shows drop on Netflix, as well as the return of some of the best shows on the platform. And we can't forget about the new movies! Movies such as Unfrosted, Mother of The Bride and Atlas are all slated to come out in May.

But like with every new month, we'll also see the departure of many licensed movies and shows. In May, it seems that movies of the romance genre are leaving in droves. It's unknown if these movies will ever come back to the streaming platform, so it's imperative that you watch them as soon as possible.

If you're curious to know what films we're talking about, make sure to keep on reading because we shared a list of all 10 romantic movies that are scheduled to leave Netflix this May.

Magic Mike's Last Dance

After a short three-month stay on Netflix, Magic Mike's Last Dance is set to be leaving the streaming platform on Thursday, May 2, 2024. It's the third and final movie in the Magic Mike trilogy, and it sees former male stripper Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) taking the stage once again after he finds himself strapped for cash.

After Mike loses his furniture business during the COVID-19 pandemic, he has to resort to bartending. Then, one day, he meets a wealthy socialite who offers him a mysterious yet high-paying offer he can't refuse. An offer that takes him across the world to London where he's tasked with training a new roster of talented dancers and choreographing a special dance production. Joining Tatum in the cast as the wealthy socialite is Academy Award-nominated actress Salma Hayek Pinault.

Where the Crawdads Sing

Where the Crawdads Sing is a romantic drama film set for a May 12 departure. It stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as a young woman named Kya, who had to raise herself to adulthood in a North Carolina marshland after her family abandoned her. Over the years, she meets and bonds with two different men. But when one of them is found dead, she finds her life forever changed when she immediately becomes the main suspect and is tried for murder. Also in the cast are actors such as Taylor John Smith, Harris Dickinson, Michael Hyatt, Sterling Macer, Jr., Jojo Regina, Garret Dillahunt, Ahna O'Reilly, and David Strathairn.

The Choice

Technically, The Choice doesn't leave Netflix until June 1, 2024, but the last day to watch on the streaming platform is May 31, 2024, so that's why we included it on the list. You'll notice that several other romantic movies on this list are leaving on the same date.

The Choice is based on the 2007 novel of the same name by romance novelist Nicholas Sparks and tells the love story of a charming veterinarian and a feisty medical student.

Here's the synopsis via Rotten Tomatoes:

"Travis Shaw (Benjamin Walker) is a ladies' man who thinks a serious relationship would cramp his easygoing lifestyle. Gabby Holland (Teresa Palmer) is a feisty medical student who's preparing to settle down with her long-term boyfriend (Tom Welling). Fate brings the two together as Gabby moves next door to Travis, sparking an irresistible attraction that upends both of their lives. As their bond grows, the unlikely couple must decide how far they're willing to go to keep the hope of love alive."
