Everything Leaving Netflix in July 2026 — Watch Gilmore Girls, Bohemian Rhapsody & More Before They're Gone Forever

Netflix Is Clearing Out Its Library Again — Here's What's Disappearing in July 2026

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you already know the drill. Every month, the streaming giant shuffles its catalog like a deck of cards — some titles stick around, and others vanish without a trace. July 2026 is no exception, and honestly? This month's departures actually sting. We're talking Gilmore Girls, Bohemian Rhapsody, the entire Madagascar franchise, and a handful of other titles that have been quietly living in your watchlist for months (or years). If any of these are still collecting dust, now's your wake-up call.

The Heavy Hitters You Don't Want to Miss

Let's start with the biggest departure: Gilmore Girls (Seasons 1-7) is leaving Netflix on June 30. Yep, the entire original run starring Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as Lorelai and Rory Gilmore is packing its bags and heading out of Stars Hollow. This show has been the ultimate comfort binge for an entire generation — rapid-fire dialogue, cozy small-town vibes, and a pre-fame Melissa McCarthy as Sookie. If you've been meaning to rewatch it (or finally start it), you've got roughly one week left.

Then there's Bohemian Rhapsody, also departing June 30. Rami Malek's Oscar-winning turn as Freddie Mercury in Bryan Singer's biopic has been a Netflix staple since it landed. The film grabbed four Academy Awards and gave us one of the most electrifying concert recreations in cinema history — Queen's 1985 Live Aid set, beat for beat. Malek, who also appeared in Mr. Robot and Oppenheimer, essentially carried this movie on his shoulders, and it shows in every scene.

The Rest of the Departing List

Beyond those two heavyweights, Netflix's July purge includes quite a mixed bag:

• Madagascar (all films) — Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, and David Schwimmer's animated franchise is migrating away. The whole gang — Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria — are checking out.
• Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle — Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan's reboot adventure is gone.
• American Hustle — David O. Russell's star-studded crime caper with Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, and Jeremy Renner is leaving the platform.
• Field of Dreams — Kevin Costner's iconic baseball drama is heading for the exit.
• Slap Shot — The classic Paul Newman hockey comedy is skating off the roster.
• Steel Magnolias — The beloved tear-jerker with Julia Roberts, Sally Field, and Dolly Parton is no longer staying.

Why is all of this happening? Simple — licensing deals. Netflix doesn't own everything in its library (despite what it sometimes feels like). When those agreements expire, titles rotate off the platform and land somewhere else — or disappear from streaming entirely.

The Bottom Line

July 2026 is shaping up to be one of those months where your watchlist either gets lighter or your FOMO gets heavier. The clock's ticking on these titles, so queue up Gilmore Girls for a Stars Hollow marathon, catch Rami Malek channeling Freddie Mercury one last time, or finally watch American Hustle — whatever floats your boat. Just don't blame us when you hit play and get that dreaded "Title No Longer Available" screen.
