Netflix's ad-supported plan includes "the vast majority" of titles available but several popular movies and shows remain available.
Meanwhile, TV series currently unavailable to Netflix’s ad-supported members in the U.S. include AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” “Peaky Blinders” starring Cillian Murphy, “The Tourist” thriller starring Jamie Dornan, DreamWorks Animation shows including “Dinotrux,” “Dragons: Race to the Edge,” “Voltron: Legendary Defender” and “Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh,” and “House of Cards,” the landmark Netflix original series from MRC. After Netflix debuted the ad-supported plan in major markets in November 2022, co-CEO Ted Sarandos said the company would work to renegotiate license agreements where possible to bring more movies and shows to the ad tier.
