SEVEN popular shows are vanishing from Netflix in a matter of days – so if they're on your list, now's the time to start watching.
Viewers in the UK will lose access to the titles on Monday, July 1, as Netflix prepares for a major shake-up to both its content and interface.

The changes come as part of a larger overhaul that's already seen a wave of titles removed in recent months, and July looks set to be one of the busiest yet.
Among the shows leaving are Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Loudermilk (Seasons 1 to 3), and the anime series Overlord (Seasons 1 to 4).
Also departing is the children's favourite Rabbids Invasion (Season 4), Rubble & Crew (Season 1), and the classic magical girl reboot Sailor Moon Crystal (Seasons 1 to 3).
Fans of nostalgic family dramas will also lose The Wonder Years (Seasons 1 to 2), which is being pulled as part of a broader Disney Television removal.
These removals are largely due to expiring licensing deals and content rotations that happen behind the scenes.
But there's more to it this time – with a brand new Netflix home screen redesign just around the corner.
The streaming giant is launching its first major redesign for TVs in 12 years.
Dubbed 'Eclipse' inside the company, the new interface promises a sleeker, simpler experience that encourages viewers to press play faster and discover content more easily.
The layout will shift the main navigation bar to the top of the screen and reduce the number of visible titles at once, focusing instead on bigger images, more dynamic previews and video clips that auto-play after just a few seconds.
'The real goal of this is, how do we make it easier, how do we make it simpler, faster for you to make a great decision?' said Greg Peters, co-CEO of Netflix.
One of the most notable features is 'responsive recommendations.'
These will tailor suggestions almost instantly, based on what users are actively searching for.
So if a viewer looks up thrillers or family films, their home screen will begin updating in real time to show more titles in that category – a big improvement from the previous system, which could take up to a day to refresh.
Eunice Kim, the company's chief product officer, said the redesign is meant to serve both types of viewers: those who know exactly what they want, and those who don't.
'The way that the old home page is built, you kind of see box art, box art, box art, box art,' she said. 'It's kind of suboptimal, right?'
The new layout aims to slow viewers down just enough to take notice of what's on offer, with titles now showing labels like 'highly rewatched,' '13 weeks in Top 10,' or ' Oscar nominee.'
The changes also aim to make live content more prominent – like football games or special events – by showing live animation and movement directly on the home screen.
July will also see the departure of several films, including The Equalizer 3 starring Denzel Washington, which is also leaving on July 1.
Later in the month, the comedy Dumb Money will exit the platform as well.
Overall, at least nine Netflix Originals are scheduled to depart in July, with more likely to follow throughout the year – joining the 250+ titles already gone.
Netflix's redesign could have ripple effects across the industry. For years, rival streamers like Disney+, Prime Video, and Max have taken cues from Netflix's interface.
With Netflix now breaking from the row-upon-row layout, others may soon follow suit.
