It’s almost time for several Marvel films to leave Netflix this year. From ‘Daredevil’ to ‘Jessica Jones’, ‘Iron Fist’, ‘The Punisher’ and ‘The Defenders’ – these projects will leave Netflix to join their home brand Disney+ Hotstar streamer. All six series will begin streaming on the platform in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand starting March 16.

The rest of the countries will follow suit at a later date. 

Adding to the list is also Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’ which ran for seven seasons on ABC. It will also begin streaming March 16 on Disney+.
