The biggest exit from Netflix this week has to be the John Wells directorial starring Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, August: Osage County. But before July wraps up and definitively plunges us into the second half of 2023, a few other shows and films will depart from the streaming platform.
Starting off the list on July 24th is the drama Léa & I, a tale of friendship and self-discovery. Camille Shooshani’s documentary follows two best friends who travel through Latin America meeting shamans, experimenting with herbal medicines, and having an existential trip through it all.
Also departing on the same day is the adorable and whimsical Popples, an animated high-energy series targeted at the young ones.
As July 25th arrives, K-drama enthusiasts will have to bid farewell to Lawless Lawyer (2018), a thrilling South Korean series that brilliantly combines courtroom drama with action and intrigue. Meanwhile, Romance Doll (2020) offers a bittersweet tale of love and sacrifice that captivated audiences with its poignant storytelling and compelling performances. Rounding off this day of departures is the enigmatic neo-noir thriller Serenity (2019), starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Diane Lane, Jason Clarke, Djimon Hounsou, and Jeremy Strong, which may have been panned by critics by had twists and turns galore.
On July 26th, Netflix bids adieu to the star-studded drama August: Osage County (2013), a riveting adaptation of Tracy Letts’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
