Nicolas Cage plays a truffle hunter living in the Oregon woods. When his beloved foraging pig is kidnapped, he emerges from his isolated life and heads to Portland to find her. Pig sounds like a strange premise, but it carries far more emotional weight than the title suggests. It features one of Cage’s best performances and is well worth experiencing. The film leaves Netflix on May 26.

A respected judge’s life becomes one filled with lies and cover-ups after his son flees the scene of a car accident. Bryan Cranston is the heart of the series — his performance reflects the moral compromise and desperation of his character. Your Honor is the kind of show where each episode ends on a high note, making you eager for the next one. Both seasons are available on Netflix until May 31 in the United States.

What to Watch Before It Leaves

Here are the movies and shows leaving Netflix this month that are recommended before they’re gone.

  1. Your Honor (Leaving May 31) – Your Honor follows Michael Desiato (Bryan Cranston), a renowned judge whose morals are put to the test when his son is involved in a fatal accident. To protect his son, he is pulled into a world of lies and deception. Cranston delivers a magnetic performance throughout both seasons, making this a must-watch before it leaves Netflix on May 31.
  2. Documentary Now! (Leaving May 9) – For families looking for a perfect night in this week, Documentary Now! is an excellent choice. The series spans four seasons and offers a perfect blend of comedy and parody, poking fun at popular documentaries like Grey Gardens, Nanook of the North, and The Thin Blue Line.

Final Verdict

The list of movies and shows leaving Netflix this month is quite long, and as of today, May 4, 2026, some major titles like Train to Busan have already left the platform.
With more departures set throughout May 2026, it’s best to check the leaving dates of titles you love and watch them before they move to another platform — where you’d need a separate subscription to enjoy them.
Pig, Documentary Now! (Seasons 1–4), Your Honor (Seasons 1–2) and The Addams Family (1 & 2) are among the standout titles you can still catch before they leave Netflix in May 2026.

What movies are leaving Netflix this month?

May 2026 sees a wide range of films departing, including How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Sicario, Hell or High Water, You’ve Got Mail, Focus, Train to Busan, Peninsula, Joy Ride, The Addams Family, The Addams Family 2, Crossroads, Pig, and more.

Why does Netflix remove movies and shows?

Netflix licenses most of its non-original content from studios for a limited period. Once the license expires, Netflix evaluates ongoing audience interest. If that interest justifies the renewal cost, the title stays; otherwise, it moves to another streaming platform after the initial deal ends.

Can removed Netflix titles come back?

Yes, if Netflix renegotiates with the studios and secures a new license. However, in most cases, competing platforms purchase the license of popular titles after their Netflix run ends.

How do I know when a movie is leaving Netflix?

The easiest method is to check the title’s own detail page on Netflix, where you’ll see a “Leaving date” notice if removal is scheduled within the next 28 days. In the app, you can also check Netflix’s “Last Chance to Watch” row, which automatically highlights expiring titles.
