Hellboy exits Netflix in July
Guillermo del Toro’s acclaimed superhero film Hellboy will soon be exiting Netflix. According to What’s on Netflix, the film is scheduled to leave the streaming platform on July 1, 2026, giving subscribers a limited window to watch the fan-favorite film.
Del Toro wrote and directed Hellboy, which was released in U.S. theaters on April 2, 2004. Based on Mike Mignola’s comic book series, the film tells the origin story of the demon raised by humans who becomes a government agent fighting supernatural threats.
The story begins during World War II, when a Nazi-backed occult experiment led by Grigori Rasputin opens a portal to another realm. Although Allied forces stop the ritual, a young demon is brought into the human world and adopted by Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, who names him Hellboy. Years later, Hellboy works for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, a secret agency that investigates supernatural threats.
When Rasputin and his followers return, Hellboy joins Abe Sapien, John Myers, and other agents to stop a series of deadly paranormal attacks, including the rapidly multiplying creature Sammael. The cast includes Ron Perlman as Hellboy, Selma Blair as Liz Sherman, Jeffrey Tambor as Tom Manning, Karel Roden as Grigori Rasputin, Rupert Evans as John Myers, and Brian Steele as Sammael.
Hellboy received positive reviews from critics following its release. The film holds an 81 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 204 reviews, while its audience rating stands at 66 percent. According to Box Office Mojo, the film earned more than $99 million worldwide during its theatrical run.
