Walt Disney Co. and Netflix unveiled a deal for multiple original live-action series based on four of Marvel’s most popular characters to be shown exclusively on Netflix’s streaming-video service.
Under the agreement, Marvel will develop four serialized programs–“Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones,” “Iron Fist” and “Luke Cage”–leading to a miniseries programming event for Netflix. Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, 13-episode series and a culminating Marvel’s “The Defenders” mini-series.
Netflix has sought deals for more exclusive content in the face of competition from Amazon.com Inc. and other outlets and is also focusing on developing original content.
Last year, Netflix outbid Liberty Media Corp.’s Starz for the exclusive right to show Disney movies, including films from Marvel Studios, about eight months after they hit theaters.
Starting in 2016, Netflix customers will be able to see recently released Disney movies in their Watch Instantly queue.
