Disney licenses lineup of movies, TV shows to Netflix including ’Ice Age,’ ’Will Trent’

On October 2, Disney announced a licensing agreement with Netflix, granting the streaming service access to a range of Disney-owned movies and TV shows. The deal includes well-known titles such as the Ice Age films, as well as the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and the Will Trent series. This partnership aims to bolster Netflix's content library by adding to its collection of Disney-owned properties.

The first two seasons of Disney+'s original series Percy Jackson and the Olympians will be made available on Netflix globally starting October 4, with the streaming service gaining access to the content for three months. Simultaneously, Disney's Ice Age film franchise will begin streaming worldwide on Netflix for a three-month period, commencing ahead of the theatrical release of the upcoming film, Ice Age: Boiling Point, scheduled for early next year.

Additionally, the agreement encompasses a selection of Disney and Pixar films, including Soul, Elio, and Raya and the Last Dragon, which will become available globally on Netflix from early 2027. The exact launch dates and regions for these titles may vary. However, it is worth noting that Disney-branded titles will predominantly remain exclusive to Disney's own streaming platforms and television channels, as per the company's policy.
