The start of 2026 is going to bring some big changes to the Netflix movie lineup — some of them great, and some of them incredibly frustrating. The good news is the streamer will be adding movies like Despicable Me and Dune. The bad news is that it’ll be losing more movies than it’s gaining, with the best animated trilogy currently on the service heading out as part of those departures.
On January 1st, Netflix will be losing all three Kung Fu Panda movies on its lineup, leaving the spinoff TV shows as the franchise’s only adventures remaining on the streamer. With Kung Fu Panda 4 having already left Netflix’s lineup this past year, the entire feature film saga will be gone from the service in just a few days.
The most frustrating part about this departure from Netflix is that the Kung Fu Panda movies aren’t going to be readily accessible on any other services, at least for a little while. Kung Fu Panda 2 is currently on HBO Max, but the other three are missing from any rival services, and none of those services have listed the DreamWorks films in their January newsletters.
So if you’re a big fan of Po’s adventures, and you don’t already own physical copies of the films, it’s about to be a challenge to watch Kung Fu Panda.
What’s Leaving Netflix in January?
The Kung Fu Panda trilogy is one of the biggest movie losses Netflix is suffering in January, but it’s far from the only one. There are dozens of movies leaving the service at the start of the month, including The Hangover, Baby Driver, and The Goonies.
