Disney and Netflix content licensing agreement

Overview

Disney Entertainment and Netflix have entered into an expansive, non-exclusive content licensing agreement to bring various Disney-owned films and television series to the Netflix platform. The deal includes Disney+ originals, 20th Century Studios productions, and titles from Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Beginning October 4, 2026, the initial wave of content includes the first two seasons of ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ and all five ‘Ice Age’ films. These are available on Netflix for a limited three-month promotional window, likely lasting until early January 2027. This timing is intended to build momentum for the third season of ‘Percy Jackson’ on Disney+, which premieres November 20, 2026, and the theatrical release of ‘Ice Age: Boiling Point’ on February 5, 2027.

Future content scheduled for Netflix includes the series ‘Will Trent’, ‘Shifting Gears’, and ‘Tracker’, as well as various Disney Animation and Pixar titles such as ‘Soul’, ‘Elio’, and ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ in 2027. Other series expected to join the platform include ‘Felicity’, ‘This is Us’, ‘Revenge’, ‘Army Wives’, and ‘Fresh Off the Boat’. While the deal expands Netflix’s library, Marvel and Star Wars content will remain exclusive to Disney+.

Media specialists suggest this shift marks a reversal from Disney’s previous focus on exclusivity for Disney+. Analysts indicate the move may signal a broader trend in the international streaming market where maximizing revenue through wide distribution across multiple platforms becomes more central than maintaining platform exclusivity.
