The action-packed zombie blockbuster 'World War Z,' directed by Marc Forster and starring Brad Pitt, is leaving Netflix on December 5, 2025. Despite its initial mixed reputation, it remains the highest-grossing zombie film of all time, with worldwide earnings of around $540 million. The film follows former UN investigator Gerry Lane, played by Pitt, as he searches the globe for the origin of a deadly virus that turns humans into zombies, aiming to find a way to stop its spread. The movie was heavily over budget, with production costs reportedly between $190 and $270 million, which affected its profitability despite strong box office and home streaming success. Besides Netflix, the film is available on Paramount+ and Amazon in extended versions. Fans are hopeful for a sequel, although 'World War Z 2' has been delayed multiple times, with director David Fincher expressing relief that the project was canceled. The film's departure from Netflix marks a limited window for viewers to watch this globally acclaimed zombie action film, which is also available in HD and in various streaming and rental options.
