After you download a title to your device, you have a limited amount of time to watch it before it expires. The amount of time depends on individual licenses, and can vary by title. Usually it's 30 days or so of you don't watch it.

Titles that are expiring from your device in less than 7 days will display the amount of time you have left on the Downloads page of the Netflix app.

Some titles will expire 48 hours after you first press play. Once you have started playing one of these titles, you will see how many hours you have left on the Downloads page. You can watch a downloaded title as many times as you’d like before it expires.

If a title has expired, you will need to renew it. Some titles may only be renewed a certain number of times. Titles that are no longer available on Netflix will expire when they leave the service, regardless of when they were downloaded.

To renew an expired download, just click on the yellow exclaimation mark and select Renew.

If your membership is cancelled or if the title has left your country's catalog then you can't renew it
