Every Movie Leaving Netflix and Hulu This Week, Including ‘Crimes of the Future’

If your watchlist has been languishing, now’s the moment to press play—several notable titles are exiting Netflix and Hulu between Monday, 10/27 and Sunday, 11/2. Below you’ll find quick primers with cast and creator details plus the exact date and platform each title departs, so you can catch them before they disappear.

‘Ralph Barbosa: Cowabunga’ (2023)

Ralph Barbosa’s debut hour finds the Dallas comic delivering laid-back, precise storytelling about family, dating, and oddball obsessions in a stand-up special directed by Eric Abrams and written and performed by Barbosa. The set runs just over an hour and leans into his deadpan style and observational beats. Barbosa’s first Netflix headliner followed years of club work and showcase spots, distilling his material into a single, thematically loose hour. This special leaves Netflix on Friday, 10/31.

‘Life Upside Down’ (2023)

Written and directed by Cecilia Miniucchi, this chamber-style romantic dramedy follows an L.A. art dealer, his wife, and his lover as unexpected lockdowns force their tangled relationships into the open; the film stars Bob Odenkirk, Radha Mitchell, Danny Huston, and Rosie Fellner, with editing by Anne Goursaud. Shot remotely during early 2020, it leans on video calls, empty galleries, and intersecting apartments to frame its character study. Miniucchi’s script centers on routine and disruption, with visual motifs drawn from the art world the characters inhabit. This title leaves Hulu on Monday, 10/27.

‘Crimes of the Future’ (2022)

Written and directed by David Cronenberg, this science-fiction body-horror drama stars Viggo Mortensen as performance artist Saul Tenser, with Léa Seydoux as his partner Caprice and Kristen Stewart as an investigator tracking their extreme surgical art; Scott Speedman co-stars. Set in a near future where human biology mutates rapidly, the story explores public organ-removal performances, surveillance, and bio-politics, scored by longtime Cronenberg collaborator Howard Shore. The production was shot in Greece and revives themes the filmmaker has explored since the late 1990s draft of the screenplay. This film leaves Hulu on Thursday, 10/30.

‘Dreaming Walls’ (2022)

Co-directed by Amélie van Elmbt and Maya Duverdier, this documentary immerses viewers in Manhattan’s storied Chelsea Hotel as renovations reshape the building and the lives of its remaining artist-residents. Blending archival material with present-day verité, it traces the hotel’s cultural legacy and the tensions between preservation, commerce, and community. Interviews and observational footage chart the creative routines and anxieties of tenants amid scaffolds and construction dust. This documentary leaves Hulu on Sunday, 11/2.
