According to Economic Times, Netflix will stop streaming Jonathan Glazer’s 2013 sci‑fi drama ‘Under the Skin’ on October 31, 2026, giving subscribers a final window to watch the Scarlett Johansson‑led film before it departs the platform.
The outlet notes that the movie can also be found on ad‑supported services such as Tubi, Roku, Pluto TV and Fandango, although it cautions that availability may differ by region and advises viewers to verify each service before settling on a platform.
Free platforms that may still carry the film
The film’s impending exit follows a recent surge in streaming interest that saw it climb to No. 10 on Moviefone’s Netflix chart, a ranking reported by ComicBook.com and highlighted in the Economic Times piece.
‘Under the Skin’ follows an unnamed alien who assumes a human female form and roams the Scottish countryside, luring men to isolated spots where they vanish – a premise drawn from Michel Faber’s 2000 novel and noted for its unsettling, atmospheric storytelling.

While the movie fell short of recouping its reported $13.3 million budget, earning about $7.2 million at the box office, it has earned critical praise and appears on several best‑of‑the‑21st‑century lists, according to the source.
