As the largest digital streaming platform in the world, Netflix continues to expand its content library, but the number of titles being removed from the platform is also increasing. The latest casualty is the popular film World War Z.
Netflix bids farewell to World War Z!
Released in 2013, World War Z has been watched by millions of people and garnered a significant fan base since its debut. In response, Netflix struck a deal with the film’s production company and added it to their library. However, today brings disappointing news for fans of the movie.
World War Z, which achieved popularity with its storyline, talented cast, and action, will be removed from the Netflix library on June 30. After this date, it will no longer be available for streaming.
The reason behind Netflix’s decision to remove World War Z is unknown, but it is speculated that it may be due to the expiration of the licensing agreement. Typically, a content agreement is made between the two companies before the content is released, and it remains on the platform until the agreement expires.
