The Netflix Marvel Shows Are Now Headed For Disney+
Disney formally announced today the shows Marvel produced in association with Netflix last decade — Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Defenders, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and Luke Cage — will be given a new home soon. The contract with Netflix expired recently, allowing cameos from its characters to show up in other projects, but it also meant the ejection of said shows from Netflix itself. The new neighborhood won’t be Hulu, but Disney+. In addition, Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD will be added on the same day. It may not sound surprising to some, but for those who know how Disney operates, it’s a bit unexpected. The Netflix Marvel shows were all rated TV-MA with adult content. Up to this point, Disney has not allowed any movie or TV series with R or TV-MA content on Disney+. Usually, the company offloads those things to Hulu, a streamer it has a majority stake in. Hulu has a more adult audience so it makes more sense to make movies like Deadpool available there instead
