Unfortunately, Netflix tends to wait until the middle of the month to announce what’s leaving on the 1st of the following month. Many of the titles departing Netflix on May 1 are great films, including Blade Runner: The Final Cut, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Friday, Queen & Slim, and more. There isn’t much time to catch those movies, but there’s still a whole month to make sure you can watch any of your favorite shows or films before they head out the door.
The Lost City, The Peanut Butter Falcon, A Simple Favor, and The Sum of All Fears are all leaving Netflix this month. But if you love superheroes, catch the animated Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series. Both of those shows have some incredible superhero stories with great writing and voice acting. The live-action films have yet to be able to recapture the spirit of the comic books that these shows pulled off over two decades ago.
Our roundup of everything leaving Netflix in May 2025 is below. Our picks for the month are in bold.
