Full List of 160 Movies and Series Unavailable on Netflix’s Ad Tier in July 2024
whats-on-netflix.com2024/10/5
The number of titles unavailable on Netflix's ad tier has reduced by almost 50% since last year.
If you’re considering signing up or switching to Netflix’s advertising tier in the United States, you’ll need to remember that some titles are blocked out because of licensing agreements. Below is the list of titles you won’t be able to stream on Netflix’s advertising tier as of July 2024.
Launched in November 2022, Netflix’s ad tier notably had a few drawbacks, the biggest being that many big titles, including Netflix Originals, were unavailable to watch and blocked out.
When the ad tier first launched, 5.1% of titles were unavailable (326 out of the 6,324 available). Then, a few months later, it was 5.4% of the library (348 titles out of 6,444 available) in February 2023. On February 7th, 2024, only 175 titles were unavailable on the Netflix US library, representing a 50% decrease year-on-year, and in July 2024, that number was only 160 unavailable titles (2.2%).
Who are the big holdouts still? The most significant two, just like last year, are Universal and Sony. In the case of Universal, it’s their TV output, with most of that being their vast library of DreamWorks Television shows that have come exclusively to Netflix. In Sony’s case, it’s their movies that are unavailable. That includes their first-window titles, which come to Netflix following their theatrical run or from their vast array of back catalog.

Only 55 titles are unavailable on Netflix’s advertising tier in the UK. Most of those are the aforementioned Netflix Original titles from Universal Television (whether live-action or DreamWorks) and a few other shows. Those 55 titles represent 0.7% of Netflix UK’s 8,247-title-strong library.
