Just had this happen to me when I logged on to finish Teddy Bear. Usually corporations seem to mean "up to and including [date]" when saying until, but apparently not Netflix. Hope knowing that saves someone else.
If there is a movie or show that is leaving Netflix, such as November 1st, what time of day does it disappear? Would it be 11:59 pm EST on 11/1?
Edit: I asked Netflix and they said movies disappear at midnight of the next day. If something is available until 10/27, it will be removed at 12:00 am on the 28th.
Edit again: Apparently sometimes movies get removed sooner than expected; the one I wanted to watch on 10/27 wasn't supposed to leave until 2:00 AM CST on the 28th but it disappeared during the day on the 27th :(
Not sure, but more likely to be 11:59 pm PT
It will leave at 2:59 AM ET on the date in question. I once tested it out on a tv series I was watching that was scheduled to leave and at 2:59 AM ET the episode just stopped playing and gave me an error code even though the episode was only halfway through. This was on a Windows app so it could be different on a browser or other app.
When the show eventually came back to Netflix, about six months later, it started at the exact spot of the episode it stopped it.
So I am currently watching One Tree Hill and it leaves October 1st. Is it as soon as it hits midnight and turns October 1, or at 11:59pm at the end of the day? I'm almost done, and I need Sunday to finish it.
Me and someone else are watching a show. We are close to finishing a season of the show so we need to know if we need to watch two or four episodes tonight.
So, why am I forced to choose a new plan? Why can't I keep watching? It's not July 1st yet.
For context, I get this prompt on my Chromecast when opening Netflix, there is no way to bypass it.
