6 Must-Watch Shows Leaving Netflix in November: Catch Them Before They’re Gone

by

Netflix regularly updates its selection of shows and movies, and unfortunately, some popular titles will be leaving in November. While Netflix offers a huge variety of content – from shows that ran for many seasons to those that only lasted one – they have to make room for new releases each month, meaning some beloved favorites are removed from their library.

Netflix now uses red banners to let viewers know when a movie or show will soon be removed as it’s heading to another streaming service. It’s easy to miss great content – whether you’re slowly watching a series or binging it quickly – and find it’s gone before you’ve had a chance to finish. Luckily, there’s still time to watch the best shows leaving Netflix this November.

6. First Wives Club

Leaving: November 15

The 2019 film First Wives Club offers a modern update to the classic 1996 movie. Instead of Elise, Brenda, and Annie, the story now follows Hazel (Jill Scott), Bree (Michelle Buteau), and Ari (Ryan Michelle Bathe) – a group of friends navigating the challenges of failed marriages.

Okay, so in First Wives Club, we’ve got three women all dealing with really different kinds of heartbreak. Bree’s husband is having an affair, Ari feels completely disconnected from her spouse, and Hazel is going through a messy, very public divorce – and she’s a performer, so everything is public. What’s fun is watching these women, despite having a complicated history with each other, band together to get a little sweet revenge on the guys who did them wrong. It’s not about grand schemes, just satisfyingly subtle payback.

At its core, First Wives Club is a story about the power of female friendship, much like the original movie. The three main characters drifted apart over the years, but they reunited and supported each other through difficult divorces. While the film has its dramatic moments, it’s ultimately a feel-good story.

The movie First Wives Club is leaving Netflix around mid-November, but you can still watch it on Bet+ and Paramount+.

5. Reba

Leaving: November 6

Reba McEntire is famous as the “Queen of Country,” but before becoming a judge on The Voice, she starred in a popular sitcom in the 2000s. Simply titled Reba, the show centers on Reba Hart as she deals with the challenges of family life – including her ex-husband, his new partner, her teenage daughter who’s expecting a baby, and her two younger children.

The show Reba featured a talented cast, including JoAnna Garcia Swisher as the teenage Cheyenne. Steve Howey, who played Cheyenne’s boyfriend Van, quickly became a comedic highlight and an important part of the series. Throughout the show’s six seasons, the friendship between Reba and Barbara Jean (played by Melissa Peterman) offered a heartwarming, and often quirky, storyline.

Even though it has over 100 episodes, Reba is a surprisingly quick and enjoyable show to watch. While some aspects haven’t held up perfectly over time, it definitely captures the spirit of its era. Like most family sitcoms, it’s a show that will make you feel a whole range of emotions – you’ll laugh, cry, get frustrated, and root for the characters.

Even though Reba was on Netflix for a year and a half, it’s also been available on Hulu and will remain there after November 6th.

4. Face Off

Leaving: November 7

For 13 seasons, Face Off featured incredibly talented makeup artists from across the US competing to be the best. Each week, the artists were given a theme or idea and asked to create a makeup design, either on their own, with a partner, or as part of a team. Their work was then judged by a panel of experts.

Over the years, the judging panel changed a bit, but Glenn Hetrick, Ve Neill, and Neville Page were consistently the main judges. They were often joined by guest judges – people working in the industry like actors, directors, and other makeup artists. Each week, the best makeup look earned recognition, while the artist with the weakest look was unfortunately eliminated from the competition.

No other reality competition quite measures up to Face Off. While many shows focus on makeup artistry, none have offered such compelling challenges and stunning final creations. The show’s most memorable horror designs still stand out, and some of the characters created on the SyFy original have truly become iconic.

Face Off will be streaming on Peacock and FuboTV after its November 7 departure from Netflix.

3. Archer

Leaving: November 13

Shows like Family Guy and Rick and Morty are incredibly popular and well-known in the world of adult animation. While The Simpsons has been on the air for an impressive 37 seasons and continues, FX’s animated comedy Archer recently finished its 14-season run. Despite its conclusion, Archer was actually a much smarter and more sophisticated show than many people realized.

This animated comedy playfully spoofs classic spy thrillers from the mid-20th century. The spies at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) aren’t skilled professionals, though – they’re often clumsy and flawed. The main character, Sterling Archer, is a hilarious take on the James Bond archetype, essentially a parody of himself. Many fans consider the show’s best seasons to be those that take place after the agency is no longer operational.

After the season 7 finale, Archer falls into a coma, and the following seasons (8-10) explore his subconscious through three separate dream worlds, each with a unique style – from a retro-futuristic setting to a classic film noir vibe. The show doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it’s remarkably creative and pushes the boundaries of animated storytelling with its wonderfully bizarre humor.

Though only 13 seasons are currently on Netflix, all 14 seasons of Archer are available on Hulu.

2. A.P. Bio

Leaving: November 15

Glenn Howerton is best known for playing Dennis Reynolds on the hilarious show It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, but he gives a particularly strong performance in the NBC sitcom A.P. Bio. In the show, Howerton plays Jack Griffin, a teacher who’s more focused on himself than his students, and his past as a philosophy professor doesn’t help anyone actually learn anything.

A.P. Bio takes a funny turn when the students actually want to learn science, but their teacher, Jack, uses them for ridiculous schemes – like getting revenge on people and eventually helping him write a successful book. The show is full of jokes that poke fun at itself and its location, Toledo, Ohio.

Even though it had a dedicated following, A.P. Bio was canceled by networks not once, but twice. This meant some plotlines were left unfinished after the fourth season. Still, with its edgy humor and the surprisingly heartwarming growth of Jack and his students, A.P. Bio remains a truly overlooked comedy.

A.P. Bio is streaming on Peacock, the same distributor that created its third and fourth seasons.

1. Six Feet Under

Leaving: November 1

The show Six Feet Under is a beloved classic that found a new audience and a lot of viewers when it started streaming on Netflix. Centered around the Fisher family and their funeral home business, it’s a darkly funny and exceptionally well-made series – easily one of HBO’s best.

Though the show Six Feet Under deals with a heavy topic – death – it does so in a beautifully touching way. Each episode offers a small, meaningful story that makes you think about how the characters – and even yourself – see life and death. The performances are outstanding, the writing is exceptional, and the show surprisingly offers a sense of peace about death, often starting each episode by showing who the family is burying.

Beyond its originality, Six Feet Under deeply explores relatable experiences like grief, love, self-discovery, and our fear of death. The show ultimately acknowledges that death is inevitable, and surprisingly, finds happiness in that acceptance.

Six Feet Under will be available to stream on HBO Max after leaving Netflix on November 1.
