It’s sad but true: all good things must come to an end, and that includes some of your favorite movies and TV shows on streaming services. Netflix is not immune to losing content, even if it more than makes up for it with originals like FUBAR or The Out-Laws.
In August 2023, Netflix will be losing some seasons of Knightfall and Winx Club. In addition, the popular musical Les Misérables, the action movies Salt and The Italian Job, the teen comedy Mean Girls, and the excellent horror movie The Ring will be leaving the popular streaming service next month. Find out if one of your favorites is leaving Netflix in August so you can watch it before it disappears.

It is a smart, calculated move toward what the tech industry calls a "lean-back" experience. Instead of hunching over a laptop or squinting at a smartphone screen to watch a forty-minute interview or a deep-dive lecture, you can now throw it on the TV while you cook dinner, fold laundry, or just relax on the couch.
