Heads up, binge-watchers: The Hangover trilogy is stumbling off Netflix soon, taking Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Ken Jeong with it. Revisit the 2009 breakout and its 2011 and 2013 sequels before the credits roll.

Heads up if you were planning a Hangover rewatch over the holidays: the whole trilogy is about to exit Netflix right as the calendar flips.

When it leaves

Per What's On Netflix, all three Hangover movies are scheduled to leave Netflix on January 1, 2026. So if you want them in your queue, you've got through New Year's Eve.

Quick refresher

The original movie hit theaters on June 5, 2009, with sequels quickly following in 2011 and 2013. Todd Phillips directed the R-rated chaos, led by Bradley Cooper with Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong, and more getting in on the misadventures. The first film wasn't just a hit; it basically reset the bar for studio comedies. And in a fun twist, the second one made even more money than the original.

How the trilogy performed

  • The Hangover (2009): Rotten Tomatoes sits at 79% from critics (238 reviews) and 84% from audiences. Opened to $44 million, then climbed to about $277 million domestic and $191 million international, for $468 million worldwide.
  • The Hangover Part II (2011): The biggest earner of the bunch. Opened to $85 million, did $254 million domestic and $332 million international, totaling $586 million worldwide (per Box Office Mojo). Odd but true: the sequel out-grossed the original by a mile.
  • The Hangover Part III (2013): The comedown. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 21% from critics (199 reviews) and 44% from audiences. Opened to $41 million, finished with about $112 million domestic and $249 million international, for $362 million worldwide.

Bottom line

If you're revisiting the Wolfpack, you're on the clock. The trilogy leaves Netflix on January 1, 2026. Queue it now, recover later.
