Netflix subscribers have only a few short weeks remaining to stream one of the platform's most highly praised crime dramas before it disappears. The streaming giant has confirmed that the entire first four seasons of the British series Unforgotten will be removed from its library on March 11, 2026.
A Phenomenal Critical and Fan Favorite
First airing on ITV in 2015, Unforgotten has garnered a stellar reputation, holding an impressive 91% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. The show, which returned for its sixth series in 2025, follows London detectives Cassie Stuart and Sunny Khan as they investigate historic cold cases involving murders, missing persons, and long-buried secrets.
The series launched to an audience of 9.2 million viewers for its sixth season, making it the biggest returning drama of 2025 across all UK channels and streaming platforms. Its blend of meticulous police work and deep character exploration has earned it a devoted following.
Imminent Departure from Netflix
While the show will soon vanish from Netflix, it is not disappearing entirely. Unforgotten will remain available for streaming on ITVX for registered users. Additionally, the first five seasons can be found on Disney Plus and Prime Video.
The removal is part of Netflix's regular content rotation, where licensing agreements expire and titles are cycled off the service. This gives fans a narrow window to complete their viewing or revisit favorite episodes on Netflix before the March deadline.
Overwhelmingly Positive Audience Reception
Fan reviews for Unforgotten continue to highlight its exceptional quality. On Rotten Tomatoes, one viewer stated, "Forget Cold Case and C.S.I. and other shallow TV shows... Unforgotten goes much deeper, with real characters and in a quite realistic manner."
Another praised it as "one of the best mystery series I've seen," citing its haunting score and deft storytelling. A third review declared it simply "the best cold case show I have ever seen," with perfect casting and wonderful characters. Further accolades describe the acting as "phenomenal" and the writing as "impeccable."
With its impending removal, subscribers are urged to catch the acclaimed drama on Netflix before it departs next month, though alternative streaming options will keep the series accessible for UK audiences.
