Fan-favorite titles such as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and more will be coming to Disney+, according to a press release by the streamer. The new series will arrive on the platform on March 16, with that comes new parental controls for the streamer.
These new titles include Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and The Defenders from Netflix, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. from ABC. The titles will be available to audiences in the US, UK, New Zealand, Ireland, and Australia. For American fans, the new titles add to an expansive library of Marvel content on the streamer. The titles will be available to other markets later in the year.
The new titles will also come with a new change to Disney+. As most of these series are catered to adult audiences, the new titles will come with new Parental Control settings that US subscribers must set up to access these titles.
According to the press release, the new parental controls will include the option to select content rating restrictions for each profile and the option to lock profiles with a PIN. If a subscriber chooses to keep their settings the same, they will continue to watch Disney+ under a TV-14 environment, with the option to change any time under the parental settings.
“Disney+ has served as the home for some of the most beloved brands in the industry, and the addition of these live-action shows brings more from the Marvel brand together, all in one place,” President of Disney Streaming Michael Paull said in the press release. “We have experienced great success with an expanded content offering on Disney+ across our global markets and are excited to continue that here in the U.S. as well by offering our consumers not only great content with the new Marvel additions, but also a set of features that help ensure a viewing experience most suitable for them and their family.”
These series were confirmed to head to Canada last week, as they departed Netflix on February 28. News of the fan favorites heading to Disney+ gives fans more hope that Marvel Studios may acknowledge these series as MCU canon.
Daredevil‘s Charlie Cox (Stardust, Spider-Man: No Way Home) and Vicent D’Onofrio (Law & Order, Full Metal Jacket) made their appearances in the main MCU canon as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Hawkeye, respectively. Cox is also expected to make additional appearances, with She-Hulk being the most rumored. There have also been rumors circulated of some Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. characters heading to Secret Invasion.
Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will head to Disney+ on March 16.
