Netflix Introduces “Last Chance to Watch” Feature to Help Users Track Expiring Titles

Netflix has unveiled a new feature designed to make it easier for users to track which titles are leaving the platform. The “Last Chance to Watch” category gathers all movies and shows set to expire soon, simplifying one of the biggest frustrations for subscribers — losing access to content without warning.

What Is Netflix’s “Last Chance to Watch” Feature?

The new section appears alongside Netflix’s ongoing user interface overhaul, which is now rolling out across TVs, smartphones, tablets, and web browsers. The “Last Chance to Watch” row can be found within Netflix’s category system, which includes thousands of curated sections powered by internal “secret codes.”

This new category carries the code 82120713, and users can access it directly via link or through search. It’s optimized for web use but can also function on other devices to a lesser extent.

How It Works

When browsing through the category, users will see all titles that are scheduled to leave Netflix in the coming weeks. This marks the first time Netflix has officially grouped expiring content in one place, rather than scattering information across individual title pages or monthly press releases.

By default, the list displays subcategories, but users can switch to A–Z view using the menu in the top-right corner. However, Netflix still doesn’t offer a way to sort by expiration date, meaning users will need to click into each title to confirm when it leaves the platform.

Limitations and Early Feedback

While the addition is welcome, the feature isn’t perfect. Some titles — such as The Emoji Movie — appear in the list even though they aren’t expiring until mid-2026, while others are missing entirely. Netflix is reportedly still refining how the system identifies and displays removal dates.

Previously, Netflix added small “leaving soon” tags or listed expiring content in newsletters for the press. The new interface marks a shift toward giving users direct access to that information without needing third-party sites.

Part of a Larger Netflix Interface Update

The “Last Chance to Watch” feature is part of a broader UI refresh that Netflix began testing earlier this year. The redesign modernizes the layout with smoother navigation and larger visuals, though early user reactions have been mixed.

In another experiment, Netflix has also removed the “Netflix Original” label from select titles on its web interface — a move that sparked curiosity among subscribers and industry watchers alike.

Why It Matters for Viewers

With Netflix’s catalog constantly changing, this feature helps users catch expiring shows and movies before they’re gone. Although it still lacks advanced sorting and accuracy, “Last Chance to Watch” is a step in the right direction for improving transparency and user control.

As Netflix continues testing and refining the update, the feature could become a staple tool for subscribers looking to make the most of their watchlists before content cycles out.
