Netflix Is Losing Dozens of Great Movies in April

What’s the opposite of a silver lining? That’s what you call finding some good news in the midst of something bad, but what about when there’s a pocket of bad news accompanying something that’s otherwise wonderful? Maybe “every rose has its thorn” gets the job done? Either way, the point is that Netflix has a lot of great new additions coming in April, but the excitement of those new arrivals comes with the frustration of learning some fantastic titles are exiting the service.

On Wednesday, Netflix released its newsletter for the month of April, revealing all of the changes coming to the streaming lineup. Obviously the new additions caught a lot of the attention. You and Black Mirror have new seasons arriving in April, and Gareth Evans’ highly anticipated action thriller Havoc is finally making its debut. But the newsletter also revealed a surprising list of movies that will no longer be available on Netflix next month.

April is going to be the rare situation where the start of the month sees a lot of titles leave, rather than the end of the month. April 1st will see more than two dozen films leaving Netflix’s lineup, many of them being extremely popular amongst subscribers.

Highlighting the list is the departure of the first two How to Train Your Dragon movies, which have always performed well on Netflix. They will be leaving for a streaming stint on Peacock next month, where they’ll be joined by How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, putting the entire trilogy in one place.
