The 7 shows vanishing from your TV screens in just DAYS after major overhaul – binge them before they're gone
Find out which favourites are leaving – and why Netflix's new look matters BLACKOUT The 7 shows vanishing from your TV screens in just DAYS after major overhaul – binge them before they're gone Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SEVEN popular shows are vanishing from Netflix in a matter of days – so if they're on your list, now's the time to start watching. Viewers in the UK will lose access to the titles on Monday, July 1, as Netflix prepares for a major shake-up to both its content and interface. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 These removals are largely due to expiring licensing deals and content rotations that happen behind the scenes Credit: Getty The changes come as part of a larger overhaul that's already seen a wave of titles removed in recent months, and July looks set to be one of the busiest yet. Among the shows leaving are Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Loudermilk (Seasons 1 to 3), and the anime series Overlord (Seasons 1 to 4). Also departing is the children's favourite Rabbids Invasion (Season 4), Rubble & Crew (Season 1), and the classic magical girl reboot Sailor Moon Crystal (Seasons 1 to 3). Fans of nostalgic family dramas will also lose The Wonder Years (Seasons 1 to 2), which is being pulled as part of a broader Disney Television removal. These removals are largely due to expiring licensing deals and content rotations that happen behind the scenes. But there's more to it this time – with a brand new Netflix home screen redesign just around the corner. The streaming giant is launching its first major redesign for TVs in 12 years. Dubbed 'Eclipse' inside the company, the new interface promises a sleeker, simpler experience that encourages viewers to press play faster and discover content more easily. The layout will shift the main navigation bar to the top of the screen and reduce the number of visible titles at once, focusing instead on bigger images, more dynamic previews and video clips that auto-play after just a few seconds. 'The real goal of this is, how do we make it easier, how do we make it simpler, faster for you to make a great decision?' said Greg Peters, co-CEO of Netflix. One of the most notable features is 'responsive recommendations.' These will tailor suggestions almost instantly, based on what users are actively searching for. So if a viewer looks up thrillers or family films, their home screen will begin updating in real time to show more titles in that category – a big improvement from the previous system, which could take up to a day to refresh. Eunice Kim, the company's chief product officer, said the redesign is meant to serve both types of viewers: those who know exactly what they want, and those who don't. 'The way that the old home page is built, you kind of see box art, box art, box art, box art,' she said. 'It's kind of suboptimal, right?' The new layout aims to slow viewers down just enough to take notice of what's on offer, with titles now showing labels like 'highly rewatched,' '13 weeks in Top 10,' or 'Oscar nominee.' The changes also aim to make live content more prominent – like football games or special events – by showing live animation and movement directly on the home screen. July will also see the departure of several films, including The Equalizer 3 starring Denzel Washington, which is also leaving on July 1. Later in the month, the comedy Dumb Money will exit the platform as well. Overall, at least nine Netflix Originals are scheduled to depart in July, with more likely to follow throughout the year – joining the 250+ titles already gone. Netflix's redesign could have ripple effects across the industry. For years, rival streamers like Disney+, Prime Video, and Max have taken cues from Netflix's interface. With Netflix now breaking from the row-upon-row layout, others may soon follow suit.

Netflix analysts turn heads with stock price target updates
Bonjour tout le monde, comment aimez-vous Netflix maintenant? Okay, enough with the high school French. We're going bilingual because the world's largest streaming service recently unveiled a deal under which it will offer live broadcasts and on-demand content from the French broadcaster TF1 starting in summer 2026. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter "This is a first-of-its-kind partnership that plays to our strengths of giving audiences the best entertainment alongside the best discovery experience," Greg Peters, Netflix's co-CEO, said in a statement. "By teaming up with France's leading broadcaster we will provide French consumers with even more reasons to come to Netflix every day and to stay with us for all their entertainment." Chris Ratcliffe/Bloomberg via Getty Images TF1 reaches 58 million monthly viewers through its broadcast channels and serves 35 million users on its TF1+ streaming service. The company's CEO, Rodolphe Belmer, who sat on Netflix's board from 2018 until 2022 before taking the helm at TF1, said the alliance would "enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers within an ecosystem that perfectly complements our TF1+ platform." Last year, Netflix partnered with France's Newen Studios and TF1 to co-produce the streamer's first-ever daily drama series for France, "Tout Pour La Lumière" ("All for Light"), which is set in the world of music and dance, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "This is a very innovative deal" with "nothing of the sort elsewhere," Enders Analysis analyst François Godard said. "It pivots Netflix into aggregation." More Streaming: Walt Disney offers new perks for Disney+ membersBank of America sends strong message on NetflixNetflix has a genius plan to find its next hit show Scott Galloway, a New York University professor and a podcaster, noted recently that by expanding production globally, taking advantage of broadband technology, and capitalizing on inexpensive funding, Netflix was able to make large-scale investments similar to Amazon's (AMZN) strategy, leaving competitors unable to keep pace. Craig Hallum analyst Jason Kreyer said that Magnite (MGNI) , the world's largest independent sell-side advertising company, struck an agreement with TF1 just nine months ago to bolster programmatic demand, according to The Fly. Programmatic advertising uses software and algorithms to buy ad inventory in real time, often through auctions, rather than through manual negotiations between advertisers and publishers. Craig Hallum said that this relationship represented a ramp in its monetization potential with Netflix by bringing an influx of live content to the Netflix ecosystem, where Magnite remains the exclusive supply-side platform. The firm said that it expected a seamless transition to monetizing this inventory on Netflix. Craig-Hallum said its checks from Cannes in France have noted a material increase in interest and active discussions between these broadcasters and both publishers like Netflix and tech partners like Magnite. The firm sees this trend adding yet another set of tailwinds to the Magnite story. Craig-Hallum has a buy rating and a $14 price target on Magnite's shares. Netflix shares are up 38% this year and up nearly 82% from this time in 2024. Pivotal Research raised its price target on Netflix to a Wall-Street-high $1,600 from $1,350 and affirmed a buy rating on the shares. Related: Veteran trader turns heads with Netflix comments The investment firm said it moved from a year-end 2025 to a year-end 2026 target price and increased its multiple based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, citing increasing confidence in the company's "dominant market positioning." Netflix remains underpenetrated globally, Pivotal said. The Los Gatos, Calif., company offers an "extremely compelling" price-to-entertainment value, boosted by its advertising-supported offering, which should enable it to continue to generate solid growth in subscribers and average revenue per user, Pivotal said. The firm continues to view management's aspirational goal of a $1 trillion valuation by 2030 as reasonable. It's currently a bit more than half that at $520 billion. Wells Fargo raised its price target on Netflix to $1,500 from $1,222 given its opportunity path, while affirming an overweight rating on the shares. High-value short-form content could be Netflix's next big move with exclusive creator deals, WFC said. Wells Fargo estimates incremental engagement at an attractive return on investment. It's a third pillar of growth after sports and ads, the firm said. Netflix, scheduled to report quarterly results on July 17, said in May that it was testing a short-form-video feature. In 2021 the platform rolled out a TikTok-inspired feature called "Fast Laughs," which focused on funny clips, Tech Crunch reported. This new test aims to reach a broader audience beyond just comedy fans and will be more personalized. The new mobile-only vertical feed enables users to easily scroll through clips of its original titles. Within this feed, users can tap on buttons to watch the entire show or movie immediately, save it to their "My List," or share it with friends.

Netflix getting broadcast TV channels for first time ever in app makeover – but only some telly fans will see first lot

The deal will reportedly bring an additional 30,000 hours worth of telly to Netflix next summer. TF1 offers scripted dramas, live sports and reality shows like The Voice. Only Netflix subscribers in France will be able to tune into the bonus content, the FT noted. However, if the partnership is successful, more linear channels may jump to streaming services in other parts of Europe and the US in future. Netflix will first wait to see how the TF1 deal fares before cutting any more broadcasting deals, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said in a statement. The companies did not reveal how much the deal was worth. Peters added that the partnership would help boost subscriber engagement. Netflix has further turned its attention to engagement, after pivoting away from sharing subscriber counts. 'By teaming up with France's leading broadcaster, we will provide French consumers with even more reasons to come to Netflix every day and to stay with us for all their entertainment,' Peters said. Netflix reveal huge list of movies and TV shows being axed next month – with some children's favourites in the mix The deal also means TF1 gets more eyeballs on the adverts it airs between shows. "As viewing habits shift toward on-demand consumption and audience fragmentation increases, this unprecedented alliance will enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers within an ecosystem that perfectly complements our TF1+ [streaming] platform,' Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of TF1 Group, said in a statement. It comes as streaming overtakes traditional TV for the first time in terms of viewership numbers. The milestone marks a steady shift towards internet-based telly, which has seen a near-doubling of streaming viewership since 2021 when it made up 26 per cent of TV use.

"They have deftly adapted their programming strategies to meet their viewers where they are watching TV, whether it's on streaming or linear platforms." Netflix claims to have "over" 300million subscribers. The deal would also allow Netflix to grow its audience in France. As of 2022, Netflix had 10million French subscribers, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said at the time. While TF1 Group's broadcast channels have 58million viewers per month, according to the FT.
