September 2026 is bringing a major purge to Hulu. Over 70 titles are currently scheduled to leave the service, with the largest batch disappearing on September 1. Notable departures include Dirty Dancing, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the Bad Boys films, Independence Day, DodgeBall, and One Direction: This Is Us. A smaller batch follows later in the month.

Every date below comes from whatisleaving.com, a tracker that monitors Hulu's catalog daily for scheduled removals. Hulu's own full September removal list hasn't been published yet, so this reflects what the tracker has confirmed as of mid-August 2026 — the list will grow as more titles are scheduled.

Removal dates are set by licensing agreements and can change — services sometimes extend licenses or pull titles earlier than announced.

What to Watch First

If you only have time for a few before September 1, prioritize these:

• The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) — the beloved coming-of-age drama with Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, and Ezra Miller that doesn't stay in one place for long.
• Dirty Dancing (1987) — the iconic Patrick Swayze film that defined a decade of dance movies.
• Bad Boys and Bad Boys II — the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence action franchise, both gone on the same day.
• Independence Day (1996) — the quintessential 90s blockbuster with the speech that launched a thousand memes.
• Bend It Like Beckham (2002) — the charming sports comedy that introduced Keira Knightley to wide audiences.
• One Direction: This Is Us (2013) — Morgan Spurlock's documentary following the band at their peak; a must for fans.

What's New on Hulu This Month

Arrivals and departures happen in the same month — for every title leaving, others are arriving. Hulu typically publishes its full September arrivals list in late August. We'll have a dedicated arrivals post once that list is live. In the meantime, you can also check what's leaving Netflix in September 2026 or browse last month's combined Netflix and Hulu departures from August.

How StreamingBeam Helps

The most frustrating part of streaming removals is that they happen with little warning — one day a title is there, the next it's gone. StreamingBeam's Leaving Soon page tracks titles across every major service. If a title on this list caught your eye, search for it in StreamingBeam and tap "Set Alert" — we'll notify you before it disappears, so you never lose track of something you meant to watch.
