Disney is set to license a selection of its content, including the "Ice Age" film franchise and the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series, to Netflix as part of a new agreement between the streaming giants. This deal will make select Disney+ titles available to Netflix's 325 million subscribers, encompassing both older library content and current television shows.
The agreement aims to generate broader interest in contemporary Disney series such as "Percy Jackson and the Olympians," which is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on October 4. The first two seasons of the show will stream on the rival platform before the third season debuts on Disney+ on November 20. Concurrently, all five "Ice Age" movies from 20th Century Studios will become available on Netflix.
Additional series heading to Netflix include "Will Trent" seasons one through four, "Shifting Gears" seasons one and two, and "Tracker" seasons one through three, with their releases staggered between November of this year and February 2027. In 2027, a curated selection of Walt Disney Animation and Pixar films, such as "Soul," "Elio," and "Raya and the Last Dragon," will also arrive on Netflix, alongside complete series like "Felicity," "This Is Us," "Revenge," and "Fresh Off the Boat." Specific release dates for these titles may vary by region.
This arrangement is described as mutually beneficial, providing Netflix with additional content and offering Disney an opportunity to increase visibility for titles outside its most prominent franchises, potentially generating revenue. Major franchise properties like Marvel and Star Wars will remain exclusive to Disney+, maintaining the service's core appeal. Netflix will continue to focus on its original productions, such as "Arcane," "The Witcher," and "Castlevania."
