Disney+ announced that it is expanding its Marvel live-action series library in the U.S., Canada, the U.K, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
The streaming giant will add Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, The Punisher, and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the U.S. on 16 March.
These series are previously streamed on Netflix, now these shows will join the vast library of Marvel Studios movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as Avengers: Endgame and Black Panther, along with other Marvel movie franchises like X-Men; Disney+ original series like WandaVision; The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Loki, and Hawkeye; animated series, including the Disney+ original series from Marvel Studios, What If…? and among others.
Disney also announced in a statement that it update its parental controls in the U.S., which will enable them to adjust their settings. Those settings will include the option to select content rating restrictions for each profile and to add a PIN to lock profiles. If subscribers choose to keep their settings the same, they will still be able to watch Disney+ as they normally have within a TV-14 content rating environment and will have the option to adjust their profile settings at any time.
In an official statement, Disney streaming president Michael Paul said, “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. 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 Marvel series will also be available across all other Disney+ markets later this year.
