Netflix Drops Entire Bond Catalog

At a Glance

  • Netflix now streams 26 of the 27 official James Bond films
  • Missing title is the 1967 spoof Casino Royale with David Niven
  • Every era from Sean Connery’s 1962 Dr. No to Daniel Craig’s 2021 No Time To Die is live
  • Why it matters: The world’s largest streamer is hosting the full franchise even though rival Amazon owns the rights

Netflix subscribers can now binge every major 007 adventure in one place. The platform quietly added the bulk of the Bond catalog, creating a rare all-in-one destination for the spy series.

What Just Landed

The service picked up:

  • 26 of the 27 existing Bond features
  • The single omission is the 1967 parody Casino Royale-widely viewed as non-canon
  • Rights cover the full timeline: Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig

Gavin U. Stonebridge, who has tracked streaming deals for years, notes that full-lineup availability is “exceedingly rare.” Most previous offers stop at the penultimate release or scatter random entries across competing apps.

Why the Deal Surprised Rivals

Amazon purchased the Bond IP in 2022, making Netflix’s coup a notable twist. Prime Video currently offers the same movies, yet only through paid rentals or purchase; none sit in the complimentary Prime tier right now.

News Of Austin reports that windowing terms remain unclear, but precedent suggests the films could rotate off Netflix within a few quarters.

The Roadmap for 007

Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson confirmed production of the next Bond film will not begin until early 2027, after director Denis Villeneuve finishes Dune: Part Three. Casting of the new lead remains unannounced, meaning the current catalog will stay the definitive set for at least two to three years.

Key Takeaways

  • Netflix’s 26-film drop is the most complete Bond collection the streamer has ever hosted
  • Availability appears temporary, echoing previous short-term licensing windows
  • Amazon’s ownership did not prevent the rival pact, underscoring the complex nature of pre-existing deals
  • Villeneuve’s upcoming reboot means fans have ample time to revisit every era before the next theatrical chapter

If a 007 marathon is on your watchlist, queue it soon-Netflix warns these titles won’t linger “like diamonds (forever).”
