Netflix Announces September Content Removal, Including Fan Favorites ‘Prison Break‘ and ‘The Good Place‘
Netflix subscribers face a significant content reduction in September, with a sweeping removal of 157 movies and several popular television series. The cull, announced by the streaming giant, impacts a wide range of genres and includes titles like Prison Break, The good Place, and multiple Pokémon series. This ongoing practice of removing content is a recurring strategy for Netflix as it balances licensing agreements, content performance, and investment in original programming.
The removals begin on September 3rd with RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars and escalate throughout the month, culminating on September 30th with Chappelle’s Show. The loss of established series like prison Break and The Good Place will particularly affect viewers who rely on Netflix for access to these critically acclaimed shows.
