"Daredevil," "Luke Cage," and other Marvel series that were previously on Netflix have found a new home.

The shows will debut on Disney+ on March 16 in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, and in other territories at a later date. The shows left Netflix on March 1 after the rights reverted back to Disney.

Disney Plus Monthly Subscription Service$7.99 FROM DISNEY+

The series leaving Netflix for Disney+ include:

  • "Daredevil"
  • "Jessica Jones"
  • "Luke Cage"
  • "Iron Fist"
  • "The Punisher"
  • "The Defenders"

Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," which originally aired on ABC, will also come to Disney+ on the same day.

The former Netflix shows are more mature than Marvel's family-friendly Disney+ originals, such as "WandaVision" and "Loki." When the new batch of Marvel shows lands on March 16, Disney+ will also offer an update to its parental controls in the US.

The first of Netflix's Marvel shows, "Daredevil," debuted in 2015. The series were, for the most part, well-reviewed. "Daredevil" has a 92% critic score, for instance. "Iron Fist" was the lowest-rated of the shows with a 37% score. But, by 2019, Netflix had canceled all of them.

The shows were a product of Marvel's TV division, which was folded into the Marvel Studios film unit in 2019 as Disney prepared to launch its own streaming platform and ended a licensing deal with Netflix. The move gave Marvel Studios president and Marvel creative chief Kevin Feige oversight of Marvel's TV strategy.

Marvel has hinted recently that the former Netflix shows would be more properly integrated into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil, appeared in "Spider-Man: No Way Home." Vincent D'Onofrio reprised his "Daredevil" role of the villain Kingpin in Disney+'s "Hawkeye."
