Netflix to axe popular 'saucy' drama with just days left to binge-watch

Netflix fans only a short time left to enjoy a Billie Piper drama before it's permanently removed from the streaming giant's vast catalogue of shows.

Secret Diary of a Call Girl first graced our screens in 2007, airing on Showtime and ITV2, with actress Billie Piper taking the lead role just a year after her departure from as Rose Tyler.

Piper portrayed Hannah Baxter, a woman leading a double life as a prostitute named Belle, a secret kept from her family and friends until her personal and professional worlds collide.

The drama enjoyed a successful four-season run before being cancelled, and in mid-June 2024, Secret Diary of a Call Girl was added to in its entirety.

Regrettably, its tenure on the streaming platform is coming to an abrupt end, with Piper's risqué drama set to depart next week.

Secret Diary of a Call Girl will be removed from Netflix on Thursday, May 29, leaving less than a week for viewers to binge-watch the series before it disappears for good.

The series boasts a star-studded cast featuring big names early in their careers, such as Baby Driver and Mamma Mia star Lily James and Crazy Rich Asians' Gemma Chan.

Other recognisable faces include Revenge actress Ashley Madekwe, Excalibur star Cherie Lunghi, and Agent Carter actor James D'Arcy.

Fortunately, there's an alternative for fans wishing to continue watching the popular series once it leaves Netflix.

All four seasons of Secret Diary of a Call Girl can also be streamed for free via ITV's streaming service, ITVX.

users have been expressing their fondness for the series, with one fan posting: "I watched it years ago on TV and loved it.

"It was fascinating to see inside the life of a call girl. Billie Piper was great!"

Another fan echoed the sentiment, highlighting the star's performance: "It had Billie Piper and was my reason to watch it back in the day."

Someone else reminisced: "This was a very educational series when I was a teenager.

"The fact we had a character break the fourth wall and talk to us while she performed was very interesting."
