Four Original Marvel TV Series Coming to Netflix

Disney and Netflix announced that four original series from Marvel TV will come to Netflix, beginning in 2015. The four TV series will then lead to a mini-series event.

The four original series will individually feature Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Netflix has committed to a minimum of 13 episodes for each series.

The mini-series event, THE DEFENDERS, will include the heroes from the four individual series. 

The projects will be produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Television Studios.

This new original TV deal follows last year's landmark movie distribution deal through which, beginning with 2016 theatrically released feature films, Netflix will be the exclusive U.S. subscription television service for first-run, live-action and animated movies from the Walt Disney Studios, including titles from Disney, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, Disneynature and Lucasfilm.
