When it comes to cinematic exits, nothing says 'last call' quite like the impending Netflix departure of the Fifty Shades trilogy. The steamy cinematic trilogy that propelled Dakota Johnson to international fame, the Fifty Shades series, is set to vanish from Netflix in September 2024. That means Fifty Shades of Grey (2015), along with its sequels Fifty Shades Darker (2017) and Fifty Shades Freed (2018), will soon no longer be available for streaming. This trio, famous for igniting countless conversations and a radar for romance wrapped in mystery, will leave Netflix’s digital shelves on September 3, 2024.

Johnson’s portrayal as Anastasia danced from innocent to empowered, anchoring the trilogy’s emotional core despite the rollercoaster of critical opinions. Her performance managed to eclipse much of the critical friction the films faced, often standing out as the emotional core of a story filled with tension and passion. Despite receiving mixed reviews and even awards not typically coveted, her portrayal helped establish the trilogy as a pop culture milestone, making the movies essential viewing for her fans and enthusiasts of romantic drama alike.
