For decades, James Bond has remained one of the most enduring and influential franchises in cinema history. From cold-war espionage to globe-trotting spectacle, from suave one-liners to emotional reinvention, the character of 007 has evolved with every era while never losing his cultural grip.

Now, as of January 2026, Netflix has made a move that feels historic for movie lovers and Bond fans alike.

Netflix has added the complete official James Bond film collection—all 25 main Eon Productions films, spanning from Dr. No (1962) to No Time to Die (2021)—for streaming in many regions, including the United States and several others. Availability may vary by country, and viewers in India (including Maharashtra) should confirm within their local Netflix library, as some territories have phased rollouts or exclusions such as the UK.

This landmark acquisition from Amazon MGM Studios means that, for the first time in years, nearly the entire James Bond franchise can be watched in one place—making Netflix the go-to destination for a full James Bond movie marathon in 2026.

What’s Included—and What Isn’t—in the Netflix James Bond Collection

Before diving into the films themselves, it’s important to clarify what this Netflix addition represents.

The collection includes the 25 official Eon Productions James Bond films, which are universally considered the canonical Bond series. However, two well-known outliers are typically not included:

• Casino Royale (1967), the satirical David Niven version
  
• Never Say Never Again (1983), the non-Eon Sean Connery remake of Thunderball
  

These films exist outside the official Eon continuity and may not be part of this Netflix rollout.

What is included, however, is the full cinematic journey of James Bond across six decades—best viewed in chronological release order, as the series is largely made up of standalone adventures, with the notable exception of the Daniel Craig era, which follows a loose but connected storyline.
