It was announced earlier this month that cult favorite titles including Austin Powers, Resident Evil, Kindergarten Cop, and Chappelle’s Show were leaving Netflix in July 2023 and many others have been added to that list leaving many fans even more devastated.
The two Chronicles Of Riddick and four Ip Man films are two of the major franchises leaving the streaming giant next month.
Oscar-nominated star-studded flick August: Osage County – featuring Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis, and many others – will also be leaving the service.
Many fans on social media have already expressed devastation about the cult favorite films and television shows being axed from the streamer.
Just weeks ago it was announced that several other marquee franchises titles are leaving the streaming giant Netflix – which saw daily sign-ups double recently – next month.
Buff: The two Chronicles Of Riddick films have been added to the list of titles leaving Netflix next month which has left fans devastated
Impressive: The four Ip Man films are also a marquee franchise leaving the streaming giant next month
Among those axed were all three Austin Powers films including: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), and Austin Powers In Gold Member (2002) which stars Beyonce.
Another massive franchise that the streaming giant will be losing is Resident Evil starring Milla Jovovich. Those titles which will be unavailable for streaming are: Resident Evil (2002), Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), and Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010), Resident Evil: Retribution (2012).
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s Bad Boys films are also being axed including the 1995 original and 2003 sequel Bad Boys II.
Classic comedy films will also be taking a hit including 1990’s Kindergarten Cop starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, 2003’s How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, and 2009’s The Hangover.
On the television front, one of the most iconic sketch comedy shows Chappelle’s Show starring Dave Chappelle will have the first two seasons taken off the platform.
The omissions come at an interesting time as it was reported last week that daily
sign-ups for Netflix surged in the first few days after the streaming giant’s password-sharing crackdown came into effect, new data show.
After it began alerting subscribers of the crackdown on May 23, Netflix had the four single largest days of US user acquisition on record, according to research firm Antenna, which has been tracking the data since 2019.
Oscar-nominated star-studded flick August: Osage County will also be leaving the service.
The film stars featuring Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis, and many others
Not without a fight: Kick-Ass 2 is leaving the service
On both May 26 and May 27, Netflix had nearly 100,000 daily sign-ups, and over the four-day period, average daily sign-ups reached 73,000, an increase of 102 percent from the prior 60-day average.
The news sent shares of the company up nearly 3 percent, to $421.50, in afternoon trading on Friday, June 9.
Prior to the crackdown, Netflix had estimated that more than 100 million households had supplied their log-in credentials to people outside their homes.
Seeking to boost revenue in a saturated streaming market, Netflix last month launched its password-sharing crackdown — a drastic turnaround for a company that once tweeted ‘Love is sharing a password’.
Under the new rules, US users can add a member outside of their homes for an additional fee of $8 per month.

The strategy seems to have paid off, as new sign-ups surged in late May, even topping the prior record numbers seen in the early days of COVID-19 lockdowns, according to the data from Antenna.
Antenna noted that while account cancellations also increased during the period from May 24-27, they did not rise as quickly as new signups.
The ratio of signups to cancels since May 23 is up 25.6 percent compared to the previous 60-day period, the firm said.
