What’s leaving Showmax this month

All good things must come to an end – and that’s true for the run of some series and movies on Showmax. To keep even more entertainment coming your way, shows do sometimes leave Showmax (here’s why).

As most shows expire at the end of the month, there’s still time to catch some of these before they’re gone.

Luckily, there are thousands of other series and movies to make up for these ones leaving. Browse the full collection here.

Here are the series and non-fiction shows slated for expiry in September. Unless otherwise noted, the expiry date is the last day of the month.

This month’s highlight

Atlanta S1-2

Donald Glover’s comedy-drama series Atlanta follows three young hopefuls trying to provide a better life for themselves and their families by working their way up in Atlanta’s rap scene.

Atlanta scored 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics’ consensus saying: “Ambitious and refreshing, Atlanta offers a unique vehicle for star and series creator Donald Glover’s eccentric brand of humor – as well as a number of timely, trenchant observations.”
