Netflix’s latest shake-up brings fresh arrivals—and some painful goodbyes. Liam Neeson’s underrated nail-biter Non-Stop is leaving in January, so stream it while you can.

Liam Neeson punches turbulence again, but this time it’s your watchlist taking the hit. If you’ve been saving Non-Stop for a rainy night, you’re running out of runway — it leaves Netflix on January 1, 2026.

When it’s leaving (and where)

Per the latest list from What’s on Netflix, Non-Stop exits the service on January 1, 2026. Those roundups typically refer to Netflix U.S., and the timing is the usual streaming shuffle: once the calendar flips, it’s gone.

Quick refresher: what it is

Non-Stop is the mid-air thriller where Neeson plays Bill Marks, an ex-NYPD cop turned Federal Air Marshal who’s barely keeping it together when he starts getting anonymous texts at 35,000 feet. The mystery sender claims there’s a bomb, and the demands are blunt:

"Transfer $150 million to an offshore account or a passenger dies every 20 minutes."

Marks has to smoke out the culprit before bodies start dropping — and before everyone on the plane decides he’s the problem. It’s lean, it’s tense, and it’s very much in that Liam Neeson sweet spot.

How it did

Big picture: it worked. The movie pulled in over $222 million worldwide on a reported $50 million budget (per Box Office Mojo). Reviews landed in the respectable zone: 62% on the Tomatometer with a 63% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. Not a masterpiece, but for an airplane nail-biter, pretty solid.

Who made it and who’s on board

  • Director: Jaume Collet-Serra, a frequent Neeson collaborator
  • Leads: Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, Scoot McNairy
  • Supporting cast: Michelle Dockery, Corey Stoll, Lupita Nyong'o, Nate Parker, Omar Metwally, Jason Butler Harner, Shea Whigham, Anson Mount, Corey Hawkins

The takeaway

If you missed it in theaters or just want a rewatch, don’t wait. Non-Stop departs Netflix on January 1, 2026. It’s a tight, underrated little thriller that does exactly what it promises: locks you in a metal tube with Liam Neeson and lets the paranoia simmer.
