Just figured I would make this thread. Disney is starting their own streaming service, but all the Current Marvel/Netflix series will stay with Netflix permanently. Netflix owns Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, and The Punisher. And possibly they own Blade and Moon Knight (those deals may have been secretly struck already. But not announced yet)


Is The Punisher Netflix's Last Marvel Series?

So what does that mean for current and future Marvel content on Netflix? Will they be removed from the streaming service in less than two years? No, not according to Wall Street Journal reporter Ben Fritz, who says, “the Marvel shows currently on Netflix, and any spin-offs from them, will stay on that platform.” So that means seasons 1 of Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, The Punisher, The Defenders and seasons 1 and 2 of Daredevil will remain on Netflix. The upcoming second series of the first three Marvel shows and third series of Daredevil, all expected for release in 2018 and 2019, will also remain on the subscription platform.

That’s because Netflix didn’t just licence the shows to be streamed on their service, but they also co-produced them. So they are just as much Netflix’s property as Marvel. It certainly makes sense for them to have brokered a deal that would allow them to keep the streaming rights to these shows as they are some of the biggest draws for subscribers – and it’s through the subscriptions that they make their money. Currently, Netflix is said to have 104 million subscribers globally – losing such a significant chunk of their programming could dampen their ability to maintain those numbers and draw in more.
