Netflix Is Quietly Adding A24 Movies As They Leave Amazon Prime

It’s no secret that Netflix’s catalog of non-Netflix-produced film and TV content has been thinning steadily over the last few years, as original content has become more and more popular. Competitors like Hulu and Amazon Prime have boasted comparatively more robust catalogs, even if they’ve only got a scant few successful original series and films to show for it.

But one very welcome exception to this rule has emerged this July, as Netflix has added over two dozen films from the independent studio A24, including Brie Larson’s Oscar-winning performance in Room, Oscar-winners Ex Machina and Amy, and indie faves from Under the Skin to Spring Breakers to Obvious Child. Essentially, the entire A24 catalog from its inception in 2013 through 2015 has been added to Netflix. (The one film from this time period that’s conspicuous by its absence: Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring.)

Previous to this month, A24’s films had enjoyed a home on Amazon Prime; and indeed the rest of the A24 catalog from 2016 to present are available to stream for free with a Prime membership. (We desperately wanted the 2017 film The Exception to be the only exception to this collection, but nope — it’s on Prime too.)

When contacted, neither Netflix nor A24 had a comment on the recent migration, though from the sheer optics of it, it appears that A24 titles are rolling over to Netflix as their licensing becomes available.

This is, of course, great news for Netflix subscribers. In a short, five-year span, A24 has produced some of the most exciting and entertaining indie films in America, distributing the work of filmmakers like Alex Garland, Noah Baumbach, James Ponsoldt, and Denis Villeneuve.

If this Amazon-to-Netflix migration continues along the general chronological order that it has been, the next batch of A24 Netflix adds should include The Witch from director Robert Eggers, Trey Edward Shults’ Krisha, Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room, and Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Lobster. Keep an eye out!
