\u2714\ufe0f True:<\/strong> Starting January 15, 2026<\/strong>, nearly all James Bond films<\/strong> will be available to stream on Netflix<\/strong>. This is the result of a licensing agreement<\/strong> between Amazon\u2019s MGM Studios<\/strong> (which now controls the Bond catalogue) and Netflix \u2014 not<\/em> an outright rights transfer or \u201cbetrayal.\u201d Screen Daily<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This deal makes the long-running franchise accessible on Netflix for a limited time, giving fans a single place to (re)watch decades of 007 adventures. The James Bond Dossier<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcfd\ufe0f Why 26<\/em> Movies?<\/span><\/h2>\n

You might have seen the number 26<\/strong> being talked about \u2014 here\u2019s why:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2705 The 25 Official Films<\/span><\/h3>\n

These include every Bond film produced by Eon Productions<\/strong> from Dr. No (1962)<\/strong> through No Time to Die (2021)<\/strong>. Consequence<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2705 Never Say Never Again<\/em> (1983)<\/span><\/h3>\n

This 007 movie starring Sean Connery<\/strong> isn\u2019t part of the official Eon series \u2014 it was produced outside the main franchise due to a unique legal situation involving rights to the Thunderball<\/em> story. Wikipedia<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because Netflix\u2019s slate includes Never Say Never Again<\/em>, the total count reaches 26 films<\/strong> \u2014 even though only 25 are considered \u201cofficial\u201d Bond movies. Consequence<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So the extra title isn\u2019t a new or lost movie \u2014 it\u2019s simply an existing, legally distinct Bond film<\/strong> being included in the Netflix line-up. Wikipedia<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
