Netflix Titles Disappearing In January 2017: Don’t Miss These Top 10 Movies And TV Shows
New year, new Netflix lineup. The wildly successful streaming service is gearing up for yet another overhaul, getting rid of a number of titles in January 2017.
Netflix will be purging more than 30 titles, a number of which are popular among users of the streaming service. A few notable, but slightly less beloved shows leaving the service in January 2017 include “House Hunters International: Collection Three,” “Chopped: Collection Two,” “Bring It On,” and “Crash.” While it is sad to see the shows go, it simply means there’s more room for new and equally good titles to be added. Netflix intends to spread out it’s library clearout over a three-day period in January, with the majority of titles being removed on the first of the month.
Below are 10 films and shows you should stream before they’re gone for good:
