Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, the World War II film he has called his masterpiece, is leaving Peacock on July 22. Viewers who want to rewatch it on the platform have a narrow window remaining, according to Collider.

Tarantino has not directed a feature film since 2019's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He has long stated he plans to retire after completing his 10th film, citing concerns about directors losing creative sharpness as they age and his desire to protect his legacy.

An earlier report indicated his final project would be titled The Movie Critic, but that film fell apart. More recently, Tarantino's longtime cinematographer Robert Richardson confirmed he passed on working with this year's Michael Jackson biopic in order to reunite with the director. Richardson said Tarantino is now developing a different final film and described the new direction as fresh. Richardson said the film will be announced next year.

While waiting for that announcement, Tarantino has stayed active in other ways. He has written books, hosted podcasts, and wrote a screenplay for David Fincher's The Adventures of Cliff Booth, which someone else will direct. He is currently working on a play set to be performed in London.

Inglourious Basterds was first released in 2009. The film is the ninth of Tarantino's directed features under his self-imposed ten-film limit.
