Netflix Is About to Lose One of Its Best Family Movies (And Replace it With a New Remake)

Each month brings a lot of change to streaming services like Netflix, and November is no different. Saturday, November 1st will see the arrival of a ton of new movies and TV shows on Netflix’s streaming lineup. On the other side of that coin is the fact that Friday, October 31st will be the final opportunity to watch a bunch of films currently available on Netflix. This month, that changeover contains a really interesting exchange, as a widely beloved family movie is effectively replaced on Netflix by a newer version.

One of the biggest films leaving Netflix this weekend is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the 1971 classic starring Gene Wilder. Tim Burton’s remake, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is also leaving. But as those two iterations of the Wonka story depart the streaming giant, the newest chapter in the tale will join its lineup.

Wonka, a blockbuster musical hit that soared into theaters less than two years ago, is coming to Netflix on November 1st. Kelly’s Willy Wonka (along with the much-less-beloved Johnny Depp version) is making way for the Timothee Chalamet edition, which provides the iconic character and his factory with an origin story.

This Wonka movie was an enormous success at the box office in 2023, despite the fact that there was some trepidation about revisiting the character of Willy Wonka as a younger man. Chalamet proved his star power, though, en route to $634 million around the globe.

What’s Leaving Netflix?

Unfortunately for movie fans with a Netflix subscription, Willy Wonka is far from the only title set to exit the streamer’s lineup this weekend. The Jurassic Park and Fast and Furious franchises are also leaving Netflix on Saturday, along with Happy Gilmore, Despicable Me, Shrek, and several other big titles.
