Seemingly out of nowhere, Netflix is removing one of its own, original films from the streaming service, for some reason.
I sincerely hope you’ve already watchedThe Power of the Dog, because you don’t have much more time to do so. The western drama starsSherlockandDoctor Strangeactor Benedict Cumberbatch alongsideSpider-ManstarKirsten Dunst, and was given a limited theatrical release in November 2021, before it was unveiled for all to see viaNetflixthe following month.

Anyway, less than two years on from its release, and UK Netflix users have discovered that the film is soon going to be pulled from the streaming service’s library entirely - searching for the movie on theNetflixsite shows that the last day to watch it is 18 August. However, as Digital Spyreports, it seems that this only affects UK subscribers, as it’s still displaying as normal on the U.S. Netflix site.
So, what’s with the sudden removal? Netflix hasn’t acknowledged the decision publicly, but Digital Spy has pointed out that something similar previously happened to the 2020 horror,His House, which was moved to BBC iPlayer in the UK. BBC Film is listed as one ofThe Power of the Dog’s production companies, so perhaps the same will happen this time? That’s pure speculation, however.
If you’ve not already watchedThe Power of the Dog, be sure to do so before it gets booted out from Netflix later this month.
