Even years after their theatrical run, the Fifty Shades trilogy remains one of the most recognizable romance franchises of the modern era. Starring Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele and Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey, the films turned both actors into global stars and became a defining pop-culture phenomenon of the late 2010s.

Based on the bestselling novels by E. L. James, the trilogy proved to be a massive box-office success despite receiving largely mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, earning more than $1.3 billion worldwide against a combined budget of roughly $150 million.

Sam Taylor-Johnson directed the first film, Fifty Shades of Grey, while James Foley helmed the sequels, as it followed the intense and complicated romance between college graduate Anastasia Steele and wealthy businessman Christian Grey. However, the franchise's run on Netflix is coming to an end, with all three films leaving the platform on June 1, 2026, as part of Netflix's regular rotation of licensed content.

Sex and the City (June 30)

Unlike many romance-focused shows of its era, Sex and the City became beloved for its honest conversations about relationships, female friendship, independence, sexuality, and modern adulthood, and it centered on Carrie Bradshaw, a newspaper columnist whose observations on modern relationships shaped much of the show's narrative. The series stars Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes, and Kristin Davis as Charlotte York. Their chemistry became one of the show's defining strengths and helped turn the cast into television icons.

Its popularity eventually led to two theatrical films released in 2008 and 2010, along with the revival series And Just Like That..., proving the franchise's lasting cultural impact decades after its debut. Now, all six seasons that originally aired from 1998 to 2004, becoming one of HBO's most successful original series, are scheduled to leave Netflix on June 30, 2026. Even more than two decades after its premiere, Sex and the City remains one of television's most recognizable and culturally influential series.

Aquarius (June 16)

Although not based on a novel or book series, Aquarius, created by John McNamara, is an original television concept that incorporates real-life historical figures such as Charles Manson and members of the Manson Family. It is a period crime drama series set in late-1960s Los Angeles that follows LAPD detective Sam Hodiak as he investigates missing-person cases, violent crimes, and the early rise of cult leader Charles Manson before the infamous Manson Family murders, and while doing so, blends fictional police investigations with real historical figures and events effortlessly.

It originally aired on NBC between 2015 and 2016, running for two seasons and 26 episodes. Both seasons are scheduled to leave Netflix on June 16, 2026, which focuses on race relations, counterculture movements, drug culture, the Vietnam War era, and changing social values, instead of solely focusing on serial killers.

While Aquarius was never a blockbuster ratings phenomenon, it remains a notable entry in the true-crime television boom of the 2010s, remembered for its atmospheric recreation of 1960s Los Angeles, David Duchovny's central performance, and its unique take on one of America's most infamous criminal figures.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (June 1)

The fifth installment in the beloved Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, is also leaving Netflix on June 1, 2026, making it a must-watch whether you're revisiting the film or experiencing it for the first time. The story follows Owen Grady and Claire Dearing as they return to Isla Nublar to rescue dinosaurs from a catastrophic volcanic eruption, only to uncover a dangerous conspiracy involving the illegal auction and weaponization of the prehistoric creatures. The film stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard alongside Rafe Spall, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, BD Wong, Toby Jones, and returning Jurassic Park icon Jeff Goldblum.

While critics were divided on the film, it was an undeniable box-office powerhouse. Produced on a budget of approximately $170 million to $187 million, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom grossed more than $1.3 billion worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing films of 2018.

Every Dinosaur Movie and Show to Watch on Netflix Before Steven Spielberg’s The Dinosaurs Premieres Next Month

Nearly a decade later, it remains one of the most recognizable dinosaur blockbusters of the modern era, remembered for its massive action set pieces, billion-dollar success, and its role in expanding the Jurassic World saga beyond the confines of Isla Nublar.

Kim's Convenience (June 2)

Kim's Convenience, the beloved Canadian sitcom centered on a Korean-Canadian family running a convenience store in Toronto, stars Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Jean Yoon, Andrea Bang, Andrew Phung, Nicole Power, and Simu Liu, who, long before becoming a Marvel star in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, gained widespread recognition through his role as Jung Kim here. One of the biggest reasons the series became so popular is its warmth, comfort-watch appeal, and authentic portrayal of immigrant family life.

While packed with humor, the show thoughtfully explores generational differences, identity, family expectations, and belonging without ever losing its lighthearted charm. Running for five seasons and 65 episodes between 2016 and 2021, Kim's Convenience became one of Canada's most successful television exports. Netflix played a major role in introducing the series to international audiences, helping it evolve into a global word-of-mouth favorite. However, after years of winning over viewers around the world, all five seasons are scheduled to leave Netflix globally on June 2, 2026.

Blindspot (June 7)

Blindspot is a mystery crime thriller that begins when a mysterious woman with no memory of her identity is discovered inside a duffel bag in the middle of Times Square, covered head-to-toe in cryptic tattoos. The FBI soon realizes that each tattoo contains clues connected to crimes, conspiracies, and secrets that gradually unravel throughout the series, creating the kind of long-running central mystery that kept viewers hooked from the very first episode. Created by Martin Gero, Blindspot originally aired on NBC from 2015 to 2020, running for five seasons and 100 episodes.

Nearly every installment advanced both a weekly case and the larger mystery surrounding Jane Doe's identity, making it an easy binge-watch for thriller fans. The series earned positive reviews during its early seasons, particularly for its suspenseful storytelling, action sequences, and Jamie Alexander's lead performance, who is known for her portrayal of Lady Sif in the MCU. Nearly a decade after its debut, Blindspot experienced a major resurgence when Netflix added all five seasons in June 2025, introducing the series to a new generation of viewers. However, after just one year on the platform, all five seasons are scheduled to leave Netflix on June 7, 2026.

The Expendables film series (June 20)

One of the biggest reasons The Expendables franchise became so popular is its massive ensemble of action legends, including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Megan Fox, 50 Cent, and more across its various installments. While critics often gave the movies mixed reviews, audiences embraced the franchise's unapologetically old-school style. Reviews frequently described the films as pure popcorn entertainment that celebrated the explosive action movies of the 1980s and 1990s.

The first film was a major box-office success, earning approximately $274.5 million worldwide against an $80 million budget. The Expendables 2 became an even bigger commercial success and is often considered the strongest entry in the franchise by fans. The first three films arrived on Netflix in September 2024 before temporarily leaving later that year, but on February 20, 2026, Netflix added all four films together, creating a complete franchise binge-watch experience for subscribers. Now all of those are scheduled to leave the streamer on June 20, 2026.

The Lego Movie (June 1)

Directed and co-written by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the filmmaking duo known for projects such as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and 21 Jump Street, became one of The Lego Movie's biggest strengths when they created it, with children enjoying the colorful adventure and humor, while older audiences connecting with its creativity, emotional themes, self-aware jokes, and surprisingly heartfelt message about imagination and self-expression.

While also becoming a major commercial success, The Lego Movie was not just a blockbuster hit but a rare case of a critically acclaimed blockbuster. Produced on a budget of approximately $60 million, it grossed around $470 million worldwide and became one of 2014's biggest surprise successes. The movie's success was so significant that it launched an entire LEGO cinematic franchise, including The Lego Batman Movie, The Lego Ninjago Movie, and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. It is, however, scheduled to leave Netflix on June 1, 2026, so watch the legendary film before it's too late.

Zoey 101 (June 21)

Another nostalgic early-2000s teen comedy-drama, Zoey 101, is also leaving Netflix on June 21, 2026. Created by Dan Schneider, the producer behind major Nickelodeon hits such as iCarly, Drake & Josh, and Victorious, the series follows a group of teenagers navigating friendship, romance, and growing up at the fictional Pacific Coast Academy. Blending sitcom humor with coming-of-age storytelling, Zoey 101 captured the dream of attending a beachside boarding school filled with friends, freedom, and endless adventures, making it one of Nickelodeon's biggest shows of the mid-2000s.

The series aired from 2005 to 2008 across four seasons and 61 episodes and was reportedly the network's most expensive production at the time due to its extensive on-location filming in Malibu, California. Nearly two decades later, Zoey 101 continues to resonate with audiences through reruns, streaming, social media nostalgia, and the enduring popularity of its cast. Alongside iCarly and Drake & Josh, it remains one of the most iconic Nickelodeon series of its generation.

The Iron Claw (June 19)

Unlike fictional wrestling movies, The Iron Claw is based on real events and real people rather than a novel or comic book. The title itself references the famous wrestling finishing move used by the Von Erich family. This biographical sports drama, based on the tragic true story of the Von Erich family, one of the most famous professional wrestling dynasties in history, follows brothers Kevin, David, Kerry, and Mike Von Erich as they rise to fame in the wrestling world while dealing with immense personal pressure, family expectations, and heartbreaking loss.

The movie stars Zac Efron as Kevin Von Erich alongside Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Stanley Simons, Maura Tierney, and Holt McCallany as family patriarch Fritz Von Erich. The performances, particularly Efron's transformation, became one of the film's most talked-about elements. Wrestling fans embraced the movie for honoring the Von Erich legacy, while general audiences connected with its emotional storytelling even without prior knowledge of professional wrestling. This crossover appeal helped expand the film's popularity well beyond sports audiences. These 10 movies and shows leaving Netflix this June are well worth adding to your watchlist before they disappear from the platform.
