Disney+ Shows and Movies Are Now Headed to Netflix, Including Ice Age and Percy Jackson

Disney+ Shows and Movies Are Now Headed to Netflix, Including Ice Age and Percy Jackson

Disney and Netflix have reached a new licensing agreement, bringing select Disney+ content to Netflix's platform. This deal involves a mix of older titles and current Disney+ TV shows. Netflix will host 325 million subscribers' choice of Disney+ content, starting with the first two seasons of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which will launch on October 4.

The first two seasons of all five 20th Century Studios' Ice Age movies and Seasons 1-4 of Will Trent, Shifting Gears, and Tracker will join Netflix between November of this year and February 2027. Additionally, a range of Walt Disney Animation and Pixar movies, such as Soul, El Grupo, and Raya and the Last Dragon, along with popular series like Felicity, This is Us, Revenge, and Fresh off the Boat, will also migrate to Netflix.

These changes are expected to benefit both Netflix and Disney, with Netflix gaining more content and Disney reaching a wider audience beyond its flagship franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, which will remain exclusive to Disney+. Netflix will continue to invest in its original content, including series like Arcane, The Witcher, and Castlevania.

Netflix recently announced its October lineup, which includes Marvel's VisionQuest, Barbarian, and American Horror Story: 13. Disney+ will also offer exciting content in October, such as Marvel's VisionQuest, Barbarian, and American Horror Story: 13. With the merging of Disney+ and Hulu's libraries, subscribers now have more choices than ever.

While Disney+ has increased its pricing ahead of the next Marvel release, it's a trade-off for access to a broader range of content.
