Pictures via various distributors – Illustration by What’s on Netflix

If you’re considering signing up for or switching to Netflix’s advertising tier in the US, be aware that 148 titles are blocked (1.98% of the total library of 7,462 titles), making them unavailable to watch. Below is the list of titles you won’t be able to stream on Netflix’s advertising tier as of May 2025.

Launched in November 2022, Netflix’s ad tier notably had a few drawbacks. The biggest issue was that many big titles, including Netflix Originals, were unavailable to watch and continued to be blocked. When the ad tier first launched, 5.1% of titles were unavailable (326 out of the 6,324 available). A few months later, it was 5.4% of the library (348 titles out of 6,444 available) in February 2023. On February 7, 2024, only 175 titles were unavailable in the Netflix US library, representing a 50% decrease year-over-year. As of December 2024, the percentage has reduced again, with 151 titles, representing 2% (a fall from 2.1% in November 2024) of the overall library of 7,381 titles. 

Why the drop in December 2024? The majority of the interactive specials from DreamWorks were unavailable in the ad tier and were all pulled on December 1st.

House of Cards is unavailable on the Netflix ad tier.

Who are the big holdouts still? The two most significant are Universal and Sony. In the case of Universal, it’s their TV output, with most of that being their vast library of DreamWorks Television shows that have been exclusively available on Netflix. In Sony’s case, it’s their movies that are unavailable. That includes their first-window titles, which come to Netflix following their theatrical run or from their vast array of back catalog.

There are a few common threads with the titles below. Firstly, the biggest number of Netflix Originals blocked comes from the DreamWorks Television deal in place since 2013.

Then you’ve got some early Netflix Originals like House of Cards and Peaky Blinders that are blocked, as well as some international pickups.
