Netflix’s Canceled Marvel Shows Aren’t Heading to Disney

After a series of high-profile cancellations of Marvel’s TV shows on Netflix, it is being confirmed that the canceled Netflix shows won’t be moving to Disney Plus streaming service.
While fans are as yet humming about Season 3 of Netflix and Marvel’s Daredevil, the fate of Marvel’s collaboration with the streaming giant seems murky following the surprise cancellations of Iron Fist and Luke Cage earlier this month.
In an alleged disagreement that broke out between Disney and Netflix over the episode count for each of the series, Netflix reportedly wanted to trim the episode count to lower budget costs where Disney fought them on this, eventually winning out and giving many of the shows 13 episodes instead.
In a series of tweets published in the wake of Netflix’s surprise cancellation of Daredevil Thursday, Sepinwall wrote the Marvel-Netflix partnership is “doomed,” citing Disney’s foray into the booming streaming business as the cause.
Rolling Stone TV critic Alan Sepinwall has also taken to Twitter to discuss the idea of these series’ being relaunched on Disney Plus.
“The execs have already said they don’t want these shows on the Disney service,” he said, “And even if they did, the nature of the contracts would make it virtually impossible. They’re done.”
Disney Plus is now developing big-budget television series centered around characters from the movies, including series for Loki, Vision and Scarlet Witch, and Captain America allies Falcon and Bucky Barnes.
Those Disney+ shows “are being produced by Marvel movie execs, who do not like or get along with the Marvel TV execs who made Daredevil et al,” Sepinwall wrote in a follow-up tweet.
“They COULD make a Luke Cage show a few years down the line. They just don’t want to”, he also Tweeted.
