All 59 Movies and Series Blocked On Netflix's Advertising Tier: April 2026

Illustration by What’s on Netflix

If you’re considering signing up for or switching down to Netflix’s advertising tier in the US in 2026, be aware that 59 titles are currently blocked (0.73% of the total library of 8,100 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 April 2026.

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

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

The big holdouts in this category are the DreamWorks Animation titles, although interestingly, Gabby’s Dollhouse is not impacted. House of Cards is an early Netflix title from MRC, and they still don’t have the rights to show it with ads.

The remaining Netflix Original titles unavailable include:
