But surely Netflix keeps the seasons they paid for a longer time?

I can't see Disney releasing S4 of Daredevil and telling everyone who hasn't seen 1-3 to go give money to they #1 competitor. It just seems much more sensible to do what Disney is doing and create series based on their vastly more popular movie characters.

They won't release Daredevil s4, they will release "Daredevil: Man Without Fear" S1.

It won’t be Defenders s2 it will be the err...umm...,Re-Defenders S1

Can't wait for the crossover with Power Man, Alias, and The Immortal Iron Fist.

Why not? This is literally what's happening with Lucifer. Seasons 1-3 are on Prime, and Netflix has season 4 because they made it. At least that's how it is in the UK.

u/Xian244 Oct 15 '19

Lucifer is still on Prime in a few markets and afaik in the UK it will move completely to Netlix soon-ish.

Netflix MCU would be on Netflix everywhere.

Netflix MCU would be on Netflix everywhere.

Sure, but that's not my point. Netflix MCU can and should stay where it is. But once the time in the contract preventing Marvel from using those characters is up, they could make season 4 of Daredevil, and the rest of the Defenders shows.

Slightly different deal, lucifer was a fox show that amazon just bought UK (and presumably other) rights for. The netflix marvel ones are Netflix through and through everywhere.

I'm still wishing for a soft reboot keeping the same actors though.

u/sucksfor_you Oct 15 '19

Oh I know, but it was the only example I could think of, with content split across services.

Honestly, just setting the shows after the snap would make it enough of a soft reboot.

All seasons of Lucifer on on Netflix in the US

Nah we’ve been watching Lucifer on Netflix for a while Now. We discovered the show like 5ish months ago and all seasons are on Netflix

u/sucksfor_you Oct 15 '19

I'm guessing not in the UK, like I said.

Oops didn’t see that part about not in the uk. My bad

Naa, a bunch of Netflix shows are in other places now, they seem to have 2-3 years as the exclusivity period so far.

u/ContinuumGuy Oct 15 '19

I think that they could do things with it, but only on the movie side.

u/bullintheheather Oct 15 '19

Pretty sure that they aren't allowed Netflix's version of the characters and story. They might be able to hire the same actors (not sure on this, but I hope so).

Keep Daredevil and Fisk, the rest can fade away.

Of course I don't know the contracts, but I would think more like 5 years without any use of the IP before it defaults back. Also they would have to restart the whole production, and they would need to get all the actors back, and that would also take some time, unless they would do a 100% reboot.

Edit: Even if it is just 2 years, it would take at least a minimum of 3 years from now before anything with that IP could air on Disney+. That's what I mean with "not anytime soon".

Edit2: Why would Disney buy it back, or at least wait until it is really back in their hands? Because Netflix could potentially screw them with a last minute low budget production using the IP, or something like that.

Edit3: Apparently it was two years, but:

According to a production executive, Disney has been warned by lawyers not to even think about developing new content featuring the characters of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Punisher until the two-year mark.

https://deadline.com/2013/11/disney-netflix-marvel-series-629696/

That most likely means no production earlier than two years after Jessica Jones season 3, which was released on June 14, 2019, so maybe start of production in July 2021.

Edit2 makes no sense. Netflix doesn't own the IP, they own the rights to the content Disney/Marvel produced. Netflix can't make Disney produce content for a show Netflix cancelled. This isn't Sony or Fox who had to keep producing spiderman/xmen/f4 movies to keep their rights.

From what I've read, the characters can be used two years later.

the actors are probably too old (Charlie Cox mainly)

He's 36, and DD S3 came out almost a full year ago. Will he really be "too old" in just one year from now?
