In recent years, Netflix has lost plenty of licensed content, but many will be surprised to learn that some of the removals from Netflix have been Netflix Original titles. Here’s the complete list of every removed Netflix Original since 2017.
To get to the bottom of why Netflix Original titles leave, they usually fall into one of several categories.
The majority leave because Netflix does not own them. Instead, they’re distributed internationally exclusively by Netflix for a fixed period of time. Secondly, it could be temporary or permanent licensing problems. For example, Beat Bugs left due to licensing problems for a short period of time, whereas Slasher was removed for some time because the owner of the series went bankrupt. Thirdly, some titles are time-specific. These include New Year’s Countdowns, for example. We won’t list these below. Next,...

On Netflix's seemingly never-ending homepage, under one or more of the quirky category titles, you might stumble across a show called "Pompidou." Nestled within "Kids" or "British TV" or even "New Releases," there sits the story of an aristocrat gone broke who lives in a trailer in front of his old estate with his butler and his dog. You'd be able to deduce all this only from the provided description, however, because "Pompidou" isn't told in any language familiar to mankind. Created by Matt Lucas — of "Little Britain," "Alice in Wonderland" and "Bridesmaids" fame — the Netflix and BBC One co-production of "Pompidou" sets out in the spirit of silent comedy classics. While not sonically absent, the dialogue featured in the six-episode first season is a mess of gobbledy-gook with only a random English word or two thrown in at inexplicable instants.

BBC One has revealed casting and a first image for Matt Lucas's new comedy series Pompidou.
The six-parter - now shooting for broadcast in 2015 - is inspired by Lucas's passion for classic silent comedy, such as the works of Charlie Chaplin.
Billed as a "visual comedy series", Pompidou will star the Little Britain comic as the title character - an elderly oddball aristocrat who has fallen on hard times.
Alex MacQueen (The Inbetweeners) plays Hove - Pompidou's long-suffering butler - while the likes of Bella Emberg, Roy Barraclough, Jane Asher and Tony Way will make cameo appearances.
"Matt has worked incredibly hard on creating a unique comedy universe for Pompidou," said Shane Allen, Controller of Comedy Commissioning for the BBC.
"Only someone of his immense talent and experience could achieve something that feels so modern and inventive which also has an underlying nod to past classic comedy masters like Chaplin and Laurel & Hardy.
