Ted Talks aims to inspire and educate in the forms of long talks with prominent figures from every walk of life. Over the years, they’ve produced hundreds of videos, audio podcasts and articles to meet their objectives. For the past few years, Netflix has been a part of the solution of delivering TED content. Every year they refresh their content on Netflix adding new compilations and best ofs but this year however, it seems they’re intending to remove all their content from Netflix altogether.
For those of you that are eagle eyed, you’d have seen our leaving soon post got updated a few days back including all the TED Talks series on Netflix, scheduled to be removed indefinitely. In previous years, Netflix has actually added to the collection with another two seasons coming last year in March.
There’s some big losses here with some exceptional figures presenting these talks.
Here’s the complete list of those titles currently scheduled to leave Netflix on March 15th.

So what’s the deal here? It seems that Netflix is no longer part of TED’s strategy or it could perhaps be the other way round. This could just be a contract renewal and all of the content is simply renewed for another year and more titles could be added. But the fact these titles are marked for deletion and after the tragic loss of Doctor Who, we’re not taking any chances.
