Well, that was fast. The 007 collection’s mission on Netflix US has officially been terminated. All 26 movies are scheduled to leave Netflix in the United States (and other regions) in April 2026.
If you were hoping to take your time working through the massive James Bond catalog currently streaming on Netflix, you’re going to need to speed up your binge. Just three short months after an impressive wave of 25 James Bond films dropped onto Netflix US in January, as part of an expanded relationship with MGM that also saw shows like The Man in the High Castle join, they are already scheduled to depart on April 21st.
Netflix in the United States wasn’t the only region to pick up the movies either, with many European regions and Latin American countries also carrying the films for a limited time. They didn’t break the charts by any stretch, with only some of the newer Daniel Craig entries managing to break into the daily top 10s in most countries.
Short-term licensing windows aren’t entirely new to Netflix, but seeing such a massive, high-profile franchise arrive and leave within a single financial quarter is definitely a tough pill to swallow for action fans.
Here is the complete list of all 25 James Bond movies leaving Netflix US on April 21st:
- A View to a Kill (1985)
- Casino Royale (2006)
- Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
- Die Another Day (2002)
- Dr. No (1962)
- For Your Eyes Only (1981)

Why is James Bond leaving Netflix so soon?
It all comes down to licensing rights and corporate ownership. The James Bond franchise is owned by MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). In 2022, Amazon officially closed a massive $8.5 billion deal to acquire MGM, which effectively made Prime Video the permanent streaming home for the world’s most famous spy.
Since that acquisition, we’ve seen the Bond movies operate on a “lease” system. Amazon occasionally licenses the catalog to other streamers, such as Netflix or Hulu, for brief, highly lucrative windows to maximize revenue before pulling them back to Prime Video. In this case, Netflix only secured a three-month license.
Where can I stream the James Bond movies next?
No word on a full-time streaming home. However, once they depart Netflix on April 21st, we could expect the entire collection to quietly parachute back over to Amazon Prime Video and the MGM+ streaming service, where they tend to reside when not leased out to other providers.
