Netflix is removing one of the most underrated TV shows in recent years

It's one of many movies and series leaving in February 2026

The Capture season 2 trailer

It’s your last chance to watch many films and TV shows on Netflix ahead of their removal in February.

Every month, the streaming service introduces a wealth of fresh titles, but also reduces its library due to the expiration of licence deals.

Many high-profile films and series will vanish from Netflix throughout the month, and those released under the “Netflix Original” label aren’t exempt from the removals, either.

One title that’s leaving is The Capture – but it’s the perfect time to catch up with the show, considering a brand new series will air on the BBC this spring.

Ben Chanan’s deepfake thriller premiered in 2019, and had a gripping follow-up series that aired in 2022. Word was quiet on whether there would be a third run of episodes, with many fans questioning whether the show would ever return to screens – but the wait is almost over.

Each series sees Holliday Grainger’s DCI Rachel Carey investigating different mysteries, the first involving an ex soldier (Callum Turner) and the second focusing on a politician played by Paapa Essiedu. The show might be leaving Netflix, but it’s available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
