In June of this year, Netflix announced via its API Developer blog that it was discontinuing what remained of its public API service for all but a handful of services. Letterboxd was not—and despite our best efforts in the intervening months, is not—one of those services. The upshot of this decision is that from November 14, we won’t have any means of updating our availability data to stay current with Netflix’s content library.

We know how many of you loved this feature—we’re very sorry to see it go, but we remain hopeful we’ll be able to reinstate Netflix availability at some point in the future. We’ll leave the Netflix availability service in place for Pro for at least the next month, after which time it will be removed from the site.

If any Pro or Patron would like a refund in light of this announcement, please email your name and PayPal details to and we’ll process that for you. Stand by for some more cheery announcements in the near future, and happy watching.
