Netflix has a vast collection of the movie library that’s been released by ARRAY which is the company spearheaded by the decorated creator, Ava DuVernay. As a result of this large collection on Netflix, we thought we’d compile the complete list of ARRAY movies on Netflix as they’re often hard to find.
Founded in 2010, ARRAY is an independent film distribution company that looks to help promote films that are predominantly helmed and cast by either people of color or women.
Although Netflix hosts a large collection of ARRAY movies, they’re not the easiest to find. Netflix does sometimes group up its content together on the app (see Black Lives Matter collection or Ryan Murphy collection for example) and hopefully, Array eventually gets its own category as exploring these movies.
From what we’ve observed, Netflix holds ARRAY movies for 3 years from the addition of the title. That’s observed with Jewel’s Catch One which arrived on May 1st, 2018, and then departed on May 1st, 2021.
