Did you notice the “Leaving on February 28” note above your favorite Marvel series on Netflix? Well, we have bad news for you because five Marvel series are leaving Netflix in February 2022!
The licensing deal between Disney and Netflix has ended for a number of shows on the platform. These shows are Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, The Punisher, and The Defenders. That is why if you visit these shows on your Netflix account, you’ll see the notice “Last day to watch on Netflix: February 28.”
In a report by Variety, it is still unknown which streaming platform the shows will go to. However, Disney Plus and Hulu are strong possibilities.
Viewers remember that the Marvel shows were branded as “Netflix Originals.” But, the shows were actually licensed out by Disney to Netflix.
The Netflix run of the Marvel Originals
The Marvel series began with Daredevil on the giant streaming platform in April 2015. But all Netflix-Marvel series were canceled 3 years later, leading to the launch of Disney Plus in November 2019. The Disney-Netflix contract prevented the show and character from appearing in any non-Netflix series or films for at least 2 years of their cancellation.
Then, in November 2022, which marked the two years since the Daredevil cancellation, Charlie Cox finally was able to reprise his leading role in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is why we see his character Matt Murdock make a cameo in the latest film “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
After the series leaves Netflix, fans now speculate new seasons for their favorite Marvel series.
