Disney+ Shows and Movies Are Now Headed to Netflix, Including Ice Age and Percy Jackson
The pact gives Netflix a wider Disney library while keeping titles on Disney+ and Hulu, with some releases timed to promote new seasons and films.
- Disney Entertainment and Netflix announced a new non-exclusive licensing agreement bringing select Disney+ content to Netflix's 325 million subscribers, while keeping titles available on Disney's own platforms.
- The strategy aims to generate revenue and boost visibility for upcoming releases, utilizing Netflix's massive customer base to promote Disney content rather than viewing the platform as direct competition.
- Beginning October 4, the Disney+ original "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" and five "Ice Age" films will debut on Netflix in three-month promotional windows ahead of upcoming theatrical releases.
- Additional series including "Will Trent" and films like "Soul" and "Elio" will join Netflix through the multi-year agreement, expanding the platform's content library across multiple genres and formats.
- Disney maintains core exclusivity for biggest brands like "Marvel" and "Star Wars," ensuring the company prioritizes its own direct-to-consumer streaming services while selectively licensing secondary content.
