May is shaping up to be a bittersweet month for Netflix UK subscribers. While exciting new titles are rolling in, the platform is simultaneously waving goodbye to over **50 movies and TV shows** — including some real fan favourites. From the entire *Transformers* and *Men in Black* collections to *Schitt’s Creek*, *Saving Private Ryan*, and *The Greatest Showman*, the clock is ticking. Here’s everything you need to know — and what to queue up right now before it’s too late.

## The Biggest Titles Leaving Netflix UK in May 2026

| Title | Leaving Date | Why You Should Watch It |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Jack Reacher** (2012) & **Never Go Back** (2016) | May 1 | Tom Cruise at his action-hero best — slick, brutal, endlessly rewatchable |

| **Zombieland: Double Tap** (2019) | May 1 | A hilarious, gory sequel that delivered exactly what fans wanted |
| **Transformers** Full Collection (5 films) | May 4 | Michael Bay’s chaotic blockbuster saga — loud, explosive, and weirdly fun |
| **Men in Black** Full Collection (4 films) | May 7 | Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones at their coolest; MIB International included |
| **Saving Private Ryan** (1998) | May 13 | Spielberg’s devastating WWII masterpiece — a genuine must-watch |

| **Schitt’s Creek** (6 Seasons) | May 16 | One of the funniest, warmest sitcoms of the last decade — binge it fast |

## Shows & Films Worth Highlighting

**Schitt’s Creek** leaving on May 16 is genuinely the biggest loss of the month. All six seasons of this [sitcom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitcom) — which follows a wealthy family forced to rebuild their lives in a small town — are going at once. If you’ve been putting it off, stop. Start tonight.

**Saving Private Ryan** on May 13 is another one that demands attention. Spielberg’s 1998 war epic remains one of the most visceral, emotionally overwhelming films ever made — the Omaha Beach opening sequence alone is worth the watch.

**The Holdovers** quietly became one of 2023’s best films and deserved every award it received. Paul Giamatti plays a grumpy teacher forced to spend the holidays with a troubled student — it’s warm, funny, and unexpectedly moving. Don’t miss it before May 22.

**Birdman** and **Bob Marley: One Love** round out the must-watches — one a cerebral, technically brilliant drama, the other a joyful celebration of a music icon. Both deserve a spot on your watchlist before they vanish on May 19 and May 21 respectively.
