Blink and you’ll miss it: Netflix’s splashy Daniel Craig haul, including James Bond installments, is already heading for the exit as franchise libraries keep pinballing between streaming platforms.

Well, that didn’t last long. If you blinked, or just took a vacation from Netflix’s 'Recently Added' section, you might miss the entire James Bond collection leaving the platform as fast as it arrived. Some people look forward to the new Bond. Some of us just wanted to catch Roger Moore hang-gliding in a tux, or relive Daniel Craig’s grimace, but good luck—the whole saga is about to vanish faster than a martini at a MI6 staff party.

Here’s What’s Happening

In a move that’s almost aggressively temporary, Netflix landed all 25 James Bond films in January 2026. That includes literally everything—from Sean Connery’s early charm in 'Dr. No' all the way to Daniel Craig’s final bow in 'No Time to Die.' And yeah, that includes the 'we don’t talk about this' outliers like George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton, for the completionists out there.

Now, it’s official: they’re all leaving on April 21, 2026 in the U.S. and other select regions. So, within just three months, Netflix’s big 007 flex turns out to be a limited-time rental, not a long-term relationship.

So Why the Short Run?

Here’s the corporate backstory, if you’re curious about why you need to binge all these movies ASAP: MGM owns the Bond franchise, and they got gobbled up by Amazon in 2022 for a cool $8.5 billion. Since then, Amazon has been loaning out Bond’s back catalogue on a very short leash to other platforms, but only for brief windows. Netflix got the 007 movies for three months—just long enough to make you think you had time to marathon them, then yanked it away for what’s likely a return to Prime Video and MGM+.

Basically, if you want to watch Bond on streaming in the future, you'll probably need to suck up another Prime Video subscription or chase them through whatever gate Amazon puts up next.

And the Next Bond?

Meanwhile, for anyone hoping the series would actually announce a new James Bond actor by the time these films disappear: sorry, it’s still a secret. Amazon and MGM are making moves on a new Bond movie, with Steven Knight (yeah, the 'Peaky Blinders' guy) writing the script. Knight teased:

"I mean, I can’t give any details, obviously, but I’m loving it. It’s so much fun. Depends on what you mean by ‘soon,’ but yeah. I mean, things are moving along quite nicely."

What does that mean in Hollywood-speak? They probably won’t even start casting before Netflix’s Bond marathon is a distant memory. The rough ETA for the next film is 2028, so put that one in your ‘remind me later’ pile.

Bottom Line

If you want to relive Bond’s adventures (or just finally watch Pierce Brosnan surf that CGI tsunami), you’ve got until April 20, 2026. After that, expect to find 007 reporting for duty... somewhere else.
