Full article

Michael B. Jordan's Creed trilogy will leave Netflix on August 31, 2026. The three films, released between 2015 and 2023, are part of the Rocky franchise spin‑off series.

Creed follows Adonis Creed, the son of Apollo Creed, as he trains under former champion Rocky Balboa. The first film was directed by Ryan Coogler, the second by Steven Caple Jr., and the third marks Jordan's directorial debut.

Creed (2015) introduced Adonis Creed, played by Jordan, who seeks training from Rocky, portrayed by Sylvester Stallone. Creed II (2018) continued the story with Adonis facing the son of Ivan Drago. Creed III (2023) featured Jordan directing and introduced a new antagonist, Diamond Dame Anderson, played by Jonathan Majors. The movies have received generally positive reviews and have earned box office totals exceeding $700 million worldwide.

Netflix has not disclosed the reason for the removal, but the departure aligns with the expiration of its licensing agreement with the studio that holds the Rocky and Creed rights. No public statement has been made by Jordan or Stallone regarding the exit.

The removal will end the availability of the trilogy on the streaming platform, though a fourth Creed installment is reported to be in development. Viewers are encouraged to watch the films before the August 31 deadline.
