Why is Netflix removing so many films from the catalog?
Because Netflix needs the license rights for this.
If these have expired, the films are removed.
Because the licenses are only limited in time for external offers.
In-house productions will probably stay on it forever or until hardly anyone sees it anymore.
Netflix pays money for the licenses for external content
Be it because a license has expired or you need space🤔 or the purchase numbers are no longer correct🤷♀️ but sometimes the films and series come back
When the licenses expire, it is only worthwhile for Netflix to have them renewed if the film is really well received and a lot of people watch it over and over again, which is not the case with most films
When the licenses of the series have expired, the series come out
