Here are the most popular titles vanishing from Netflix next month:

iZombie

iZombie follows the adventures of doctor-turned-zombie Olivia Moore, who turned into the undead while attending a boat party.

Instead of killing innocent people to feed, Liv decides to drop her life and get a job at a morgue where she eats the brains of the corpses she autopsies.

Of course, there's a little twist. Every time she eats a dead person's brain, she temporarily absorbs some of their personality traits and skills.

The Social Network

The 2010 biographical drama film, directed by David Fincher, follows the beginnings of the social networking site Facebook.

Jesse Eisenberg stars as founder Mark Zuckerberg. Other stars in the movie include Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake and Armie Hammer.

Blade Runner 2049

Epic science fiction film Blade Runner 2049, released in 2017, stars Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford.

It's a sequel to the original 1982 film Blade Runner and has Ryan playing K, a Nexus-9 replicant 'blade runner' who uncovers a secret that could change the course of society and civilization.

Big Daddy

Big Daddy is a classic Adam Sandler comedy-drama film that follows him, playing Sonny Koufax, getting dumped by his girlfriend due to his lack of responsibility.

He adopts a five-year-old boy named Julian who appears on his doorstep and the rest is history.
