Margaret Qualley’s Steamy Oscar Winner Leaves Netflix Soon—Watch Now
Emma Stone’s Oscar-Winning Movie "Poor Things" Is Leaving Netflix Soon
What’s Happening?
Netflix is removing several movies and shows from its library soon. One of the biggest titles leaving is Poor Things, a critically acclaimed, Oscar-winning film starring Emma Stone.
Important Date: The movie will officially leave Netflix on September 7, 2026.
If you’ve been wanting to watch it (or rewatch it), now is the time!
What Is Poor Things About?
Think of it like a wild, weird, and wonderful fairy tale for grown-ups. Here’s the basic story in simple terms:
- Bella Baxter (Emma Stone) is brought back to life by a brilliant but odd scientist named Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe).
- She gets a second chance at life, but she starts with the mind of a child.
- As she learns about the world, she becomes super curious and wants to explore everything.
- She runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a charming but sneaky lawyer.
- Together, they go on a crazy adventure across different countries.
- Along the way, Bella learns about freedom, equality, and standing up for herself.
It’s funny, strange, beautiful, and sometimes shocking — but always unforgettable.

Why Is It Leaving Netflix?
Streaming services like Netflix don’t own most movies forever. They license them for a set time — like borrowing a book from the library. When the license expires, the movie has to go back to its owner (usually the film studio).
So Poor Things isn’t leaving because it’s bad — it’s just the end of Netflix’s rental period.
What Should You Do?
If you want to watch Poor Things on Netflix:
- Mark your calendar for before September 7, 2026
- Search “Poor Things” in the Netflix app or website
- Hit play and enjoy the ride!
- (Optional) Download it for offline viewing if your plan allows
Heads Up: This movie is R-rated — it has strong language, sexual content, and weird/surreal scenes. Not for kids!

FAQ
Is Poor Things appropriate for kids or teens?
No. It’s rated R for strong sexual content, nudity, language, and some violent/disturbing images. Definitely for adults only.
Why is Emma Stone’s performance so praised?
She plays a woman relearning the world from scratch — like a baby in an adult body. It’s a huge acting challenge, and she nails it with humor, courage, and heart.
Will Poor Things come back to Netflix later?
Maybe. Sometimes movies return after a while if Netflix renews the license. But there’s no guarantee — so watch it while you can!
Where can I watch it after it leaves Netflix?
It’ll likely be available to rent or buy on platforms like:
- Apple TV+
- Amazon Prime Video
- Google Play
- Vudu
- YouTube Movies
It might also land on another streaming service (like Hulu, Max, or Disney+) later.
Is the movie based on a book?
Yes! It’s based on the 1992 novel Poor Things by Alasdair Gray. The movie changes some things, but the wild spirit is the same.
