The Fault in Our Stars and Poor Things Head Netflix’s September 2026 Exit List

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

The Fault in Our Stars departs Netflix on Sept. 1 and Poor Things on Sept. 7, per Netflix’s content rotation schedule, as a broader wave of licensed titles cycles off the service next month.

As Netflix adds films such as 17 Again, Knocked Up, and What’s Your Number? this September, it simultaneously removes other licensed content per existing distribution deals. Other tracking of the September changes lists additional departures including Creed, Anatomy of a Fall, The Big Lebowski, The Breakfast Club, Schindler’s List, the Zombieland films, and the Rocky and live-action Scooby-Doo franchises — a pattern of large-scale content shifts that the platform now executes as standard practice.

The Fault in Our Stars, the 2014 adaptation of John Green’s novel, stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort as teenagers who meet in a cancer support group and fall in love. It leaves Netflix Sept. 1, though it remains available on Disney+. Poor Things, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone in an Academy Award-winning performance, exits Sept. 7; the film has drawn attention on outgoing lists this cycle as one of the more recent awards-season titles to make an early exit from the service.

The complete September removal slate runs longer than these two films, spanning both current awards contenders and decades-old franchise catalogs, but Netflix has not published a single consolidated schedule — the full picture has instead emerged piecemeal across multiple tracking lists this week.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we recognize that Netflix’s content departures matter most when viewers know exactly *when* to watch. The fragmented rollout of removal dates—scattered across multiple tracking lists rather than consolidated by Netflix itself—creates friction for subscribers trying to plan their viewing. While the article captures the scope of September’s changes, the lack of a unified removal calendar forces fans to hunt for dates across sources. A clear countdown approach transforms what could feel like an overwhelming content purge into an actionable viewing schedule. For audiences who treasure *The Fault in Our Stars* nostalgia or want to experience Emma Stone’s Oscar-winning *Poor Things* before it vanishes, having every departure date in one place isn’t just convenience—it’s service journalism that respects viewers’ time and priorities.
