Secrets Of Pbs Leaving Netflix

Netflix in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada are due to see another portion of the PBS documentary lineup leave Netflix with nine titles from the ‘Secrets Of’ library due to depart. Here’s a rundown of what’s leaving. 

It’s been a bit of a rough couple of months for PBS titles on Netflix. PBS seems to be pulling back its library and licensing less to Netflix. We’ve already seen some influential Ken Burns documentaries earlier this year leave with only a couple of titles pulled in to replace.

Secrets Of is a documentary series on PBS, similar to the Nova series, whereby they cover older topics and secrets that you almost certainly didn’t know. Most of the titles leaving are about British institutions.

All nine titles of the secrets of titles are due to depart Netflix on March 23rd, 2020.
