Among the movies leaving Netflix next month are several animated classics, iconic sci-fi dramas, and Friends with Benefits, a romantic comedy led by Mila Kunis, which featured one of the most star-studded lineups ever assembled in the genre. As per tradition, the streaming giant is once again updating its roster by introducing a host of fresh titles while bidding farewell to multiple fan-favorite TV shows and movies.
Friends with Benefits is leaving Netflix next month
Netflix subscribers who have yet to enjoy Mila Kunis’ 2011 rom-com or wish to rewatch it should do so as soon as possible, as the feature will soon leave the renowned streaming platform.
Directed by Will Gluck, known for Anyone but You, the 109-minute movie will depart the content library of the streaming service on April 1, 2026 (via What’s On Netflix).
Friends with Benefits follows the misadventures of Dylan Harper (Justin Timberlake), a Los Angeles art director, and Jamie Rellis (Mila Kunis), a New York-based headhunter. After recruiting him at GQ, Jamie inadvertently develops a friendship with Dylan, albeit a platonic one.
However, complications arise when the two decide to engage in a physical relationship after agreeing that intimacy doesn’t require emotional attachment. As fate would have it, they end up contradicting themselves by developing feelings for one another.
Starring Kunis and Timberlake, the supporting cast of Friends with Benefits also includes Patricia Clarkson, Jenna Elfman, Bryan Greenberg, Nolan Gould, Richard Jenkins, Courtney Henggeler, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Andy Samberg, among others.
Having hit theaters in 2011, the rom-com classic mostly received decent reviews upon its release and currently holds a Tomatometer score of 69% on Rotten Tomatoes. Viewers had a similar reaction to the movie’s quality, as evidenced by its 65% Popcornmeter score on the review-aggregation website.
Additionally, Friends with Benefits performed well at the box office, earning an impressive $149 million globally on a reported budget of $35 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
