TV shows and movies leaving Netflix Canada in April

April started off with several popular TV shows and movies being removed, including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s New York Minute, the 1983 Brian De Palma film Scarface, with Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer, and the comedy series Community.

1999 Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sean Patrick Flanery star in the movie “Simply Irresistible.”

At the end of the month, the 1999 movie Simply Irresistible, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sean Patrick Flanery, Patricia Clarkson and Dylan Baker will be leaving Netflix. This rom-com wasn’t a particular successful, largely due to the odd CGI crab in the story, but Gellar fans may want to give it another shot before it’s gone.

Additionally, the movie Family, with Taylor Schilling, Brian Tyree Henry and Kate McKinnon, will be leaving Netflix. A film where writer/director Laura Steinel explores the world of Juggalos.
