Mrs. Doubtfire Leaving Netflix on June 1: Watch Before It's Gone!

Netflix regularly updates its list of movies and television shows, and back on Feb. 1, the streaming service added Mrs. Doubtfire, the 1993 comedy starring Robin Williams, to its library.

Despite the movie's longstanding appeal, Mrs. Doubtfire's stay on Netflix will reportedly be a short one. According to What's on Netflix, the Academy Award-winning flick will be leaving the platform at the beginning of June.

When is Mrs. Doubtfire exiting Netflix?

Mrs. Doubtfire has only a little more than two weeks left on Netflix. It will disappear from the service on June 1, 2026, says What's on Netflix's Kasey Moore.

Other movies leaving on that day include Casino, Glory and multiple installments in the Fifty Shades and Night at the Museum franchises.

Social media buzz seems to indicate Netflix has been notifying users that Mrs. Doubtfire's time is short. It's unclear why the movie will be removed after only four months.

"I've had Mrs. Doubtfire on replay ever since Netflix told me it was leaving on may 31st," one content creator tweeted on May 8. "It's a comfort movie and my favorite movie in the entire world, I hate that it's leaving so if you're a fan, like me... go watch it as many times as you can before it's gone."

More on Mrs. Doubtfire

The movie stars Williams as Daniel Hilliard, a loving father so desperate after his wife, played by Sally Field, threatens divorce, that he applies for a job as his children's nanny. The iconic actor and comedian won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for his work as Hilliard and British nanny Euphegenia Doubtfire.

Harvey Fierstein, Pierce Brosnan, Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence, Mara Wilson and Polly Holliday also play major roles in the film, which was ranked 44th on Variety's 2025 list of the 100 Best Comedy Movies of All Time.

"You could say that it's "Tootsie" meets "Mr. Mom" (and that's probably how it was pitched), but Williams' performance as the middle-aged dowager with an innocuous surface and a savage tongue is a comic gift that keeps on giving," Variety says. "Speaking in a sly burr, he makes Mrs. Doubtfire an anarchist in frump's clothing. The movie was a monster hit, and you can see why: It's a synthetic domestic farce that's probably the most sheerly funny movie Robin Williams ever made."

Mrs. Doubtfire currently has a 70% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.1/10 mark on IMDB. Even though it will be leaving Netflix, the movie is also available on a number of other streaming platforms, including Peacock, Disney+ and Hulu.
