Disney and Netflix have entered into an agreement allowing the streaming giant to license a range of movies and TV shows from Disney's ownership. This includes popular franchises such as "Ice Age," as well as "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" and "Will Trent" series. The deal, announced on Friday, expands Netflix's library as it continues to grow through such licensing agreements.

Among the first to be available for a three-month global stream are the first two seasons of Disney+ original series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians". Similarly, the five "Ice Age" films will also begin streaming globally on Netflix for three months, preceding the theatrical release of "Ice Age: Boiling Point" early next year. The agreement further includes a selection of Disney and Pixar films such as "Soul", "Elio" and "Raya and the Last Dragon", set to become accessible globally on Netflix from early 2027, with different launch dates and regions.

Notably, Disney-branded titles continue to be exclusive to Disney's own streaming platforms and TV channels, according to the source.
