One of the greatest shows to stream on Netflix right now will be taken off the platform in just a matter of days. There’s still time to binge-watch this all-time great thriller series, which many have even called a modern TV masterpiece.
With 2026 fast approaching, there will be an entire slate of new additions on Netflix, including a select number of brand new releases and fan-favorite classics. That said, Netflix gives and takes away, meaning some outstanding series, including a handful that have called Netflix home for months, if not years, will find a new streaming home.
Mr. Robot Leaves Netflix On January 5 – Why You Should Binge
The beloved psychological drama/cyber thriller series Mr. Robot will officially be removed from Netflix on January 5, 2026. While some shows and movies will be taken off Netflix right on New Year’s Day, Mr. Robot will still be available for the first few days of the new year.
Whether you were captivated by the series when it first premiered on the USA Network 10 years ago, or were hooked after its 2019 conclusion and binged the entire series from start to finish already, Mr. Robot is one of those series that is always fantastic upon a rewatch. If you haven’t seen the series yet, there’s still a short window on Netflix to see what all the hype is about.
Created by Sam Esmail, who went on to co-create Prime Video’s Homecoming and direct Netflix’s Leave the World Behind, Mr. Robot follows a brilliant computer hacker who aims to take down a corrupt corporation. The series marked a breakthrough lead performance by Rami Malek, who went on to win the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
Mr. Robot Is One Of The Greatest Psychological Thriller Series Ever
When the whole concept of “binge-watching” really took off during the 2010s, Mr. Robot was one of those series that certainly fit the bill. Its fast-paced tone, fascinating yet troubled protagonist, high-concept themes of greed and corruption, and strong performances across the board made the show feel current, addictive, and entirely immersive.
Some 10 years later, Mr. Robot still possesses an edge and quality that make it riveting to this day and cement it as a timeless piece of TV history. With more series to watch than ever on Netflix, including top trending new releases and holiday content this time of year, you may not want to commit to an older thriller series with 45 episodes.
Give the first episode a shot on Netflix this week to discover whether it’s really worth your time. It will be your last chance to dive into this Emmy-winning masterpiece on Netflix for the foreseeable future.
