Here's What's Leaving Netflix In August 2017, So You Can Plan Your Summer Movie Marathon Accordingly
Buena Vista Pictures
It's the end of another month, which can only mean one thing: It's time for another round of what's leaving Netflix. There are a ton of titles leaving Netflix in August 2017, so I suggest you plan your Netflix marathons accordingly. From the girl's night staple 10 Things I Hate About You, to the classic To Kill a Mockingbird, movies and television shows of all genres are saying goodbye to Netflix streaming in this last month of summer. Lucky for you, there's still a week left in July for you to catch up on everything you might miss come next month.
The biggest Netflix purge will occur on August 1, with 32 movies and television shows leaving the website at all at once. (Say goodbye to Babe and Malibu's Most Wanted.) The rest of the departures are spread throughout the month, with the last title, Space Warriors, leaving on August 31. Of course, all the titles saying goodbye to Netflix streaming in the month of August are making room for the addition of new content. There's even an exchange of Hilary Duff movies — we lose The Lizzie McGuire Movie to gain A Cinderella Story. The moral of the story is: you win some you lose some.
