Since the company does not own all of its streaming content, these films and shows must leave eventually. All of the favorites on this list except for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (which will be gone on December 25th) will leave Netflix on December 31st.

The Office

However, the ghosts’ motive quickly turns sinister when the family’s youngest daughter, Carol Anne disappears, so a team of paranormal investigators is brought in to investigate.
