If your queue is looking a little too comfy, now’s the moment to hit play.

Below, you’ll find quick, facts-forward refreshers on each title—what it’s about, who made it, and who’s in it—plus the exact date it departs. No release pointers, just the essentials so you can decide what to watch before each one disappears.
‘The Good Place’ (2016–2020)
Created by Michael Schur, ‘The Good Place’ follows Eleanor Shellstrop, a recently deceased Arizonan who wakes up in a meticulously designed afterlife neighborhood overseen by an otherworldly architect named Michael. The ensemble cast features Kristen Bell as Eleanor, Ted Danson as Michael, William Jackson Harper as moral philosophy professor Chidi Anagonye, Jameela Jamil as socialite Tahani Al-Jamil, Manny Jacinto as Jacksonville wild card Jason Mendoza, and D’Arcy Carden as the all-knowing not-a-robot Janet. Behind the scenes, the series was produced by Fremulon, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Universal Television, with writers including Megan Amram and Jen Statsky and frequent directing contributions from Dean Holland and others. This title leaves Netflix on Friday, September 26.
Across four seasons, the plot evolves from Eleanor’s attempt to pass as a “good person” into a bigger experiment about whether humans can improve—with resets, ethical dilemmas, and twists that reframe the afterlife itself. Episodes often hinge on Chidi’s teachings—think T.M. Scanlon’s contractualism or the trolley problem—translated into fast, 22-minute stories. In addition to the core cast, recurring roles include Tiya Sircar as Vicky and also as “Real Eleanor,” and Marc Evan Jackson as the deadpan Shawn, while guest directors like Drew Goddard helped shape early episodes and the pilot. This title leaves Netflix on Friday, September 26.
‘Hook’ (2020)
‘Hook’ is a Thai television series centered on rival families and the complications that unfold when members of the younger generation cross paths despite that feud. The cast includes Peemapol Panichtamrong and Phiravich Attachitsataporn, with Jida Jidapa Siribanchawan and Ninna Yanin Opassathaworn among the supporting players. Episodes have been directed in part by Rachit Kusonkoonsiri, with production in the Thai TV ecosystem known for youth-oriented dramas and campus stories. This title leaves Netflix on Saturday, September 27.
The story mixes school life, sports, and romance with pressure from the adults driving the rivalry, pushing the characters into choices that test loyalty and ambition. It’s structured as a short run—typical of many Thai miniseries—with arcs that resolve by the finale rather than stretching across multiple seasons. The series highlights contemporary Bangkok youth culture, from training sequences to social dynamics around status and family expectation. This title leaves Netflix on Saturday, September 27.
‘The Underclass’ (2020)
Set at an elite girls’ school in Thailand, ‘The Underclass’ follows a top-track student who is demoted to Class F after a cheating incident and ends up joining a band of misfit girls. Directed by Pass Patthanakumjon and produced with involvement from GMM Studios International and Tifa Studios, the series stars Nannaphas Loetnamchoetsakun (Mewnich) as Pang, Praewa Suthamphong (Music) as Meen, Sumitra Duangkaew (Faii) as a key member of the group, and Tanutchai Wijitvongtong (Mond) among other classmates—several with ties to BNK48. This title leaves Netflix on Sunday, September 28.
Across its single season, the show explores student hierarchies, honor codes, and institutional reputation through clandestine operations, alliances, and power plays between Classes A and F. Episodes run close to an hour, giving space to heist-style planning, school politics, and the personal stakes for each girl—from family pressure to the risk of expulsion. The soundtrack leans pop, while the production blends campus locations with stylized lighting to separate the school’s polished image from its hidden conflicts. This title leaves Netflix on Sunday, September 28.
‘BFF Cry Babies Magic Tears’ (2022–2024)
‘BFF by Cry Babies: Magic Tears’ is a teen-aged spin-off of the ‘Cry Babies: Magic Tears’ brand from IMC Toys, animated by Hampa Studio. The series reimagines the original characters as best friends in their early-teen years attending Talent Campus, where music, fashion, and school challenges fuel episodic adventures. Voice credits include performers such as Jenna Sharpe, Chloé Guerin, and Yenni Ann, while writing credits feature names like Jorge Riera, Elena Gobernado, and Eva Pérez Misa across different episodes. This title leaves Netflix on Sunday, September 28.
Episodes focus on teamwork, creative problem-solving, and friendship tests—competitions, stage mishaps, and rival groups—while keeping bright, glossy visuals and toy-accurate character designs. The show expands the ‘Cry Babies’ universe with new settings and a slightly older tone than the preschool original, introducing serialized threads about auditions, showcases, and personal growth alongside self-contained storylines. Production ties back to the toy line’s broader media ecosystem, with music cues and designs consistent across shorts and web releases. This title leaves Netflix on Sunday, September 28.
