No one saw this coming.

No one is shocked by this. LOL I am surprised that Jessica Jones 3rd season will air.

Too bad Disney couldn't have put it on Disney+ along with new seasons of all the other series.

Too bad Disney is too scared of anything that can't be marketed to anybody under 18. I wouldn't want them to be on Disney+ if it means they can't be the same show as they were. Watering everything down would ruin them.

They can go to Hulu.

They could, but if Netflix had any stake in the shows at all, they're not going to want their competitor to have them. Depends on if Netflix co-produced it with Marvel or just "aired" them.

There's no way they'll go to abc.com, those are just short web series.

There's a "no competition" clause in their contracts; iirc, from the date the shows are cancelled, Disney can't touch them for 24 months. By which time, the actors will likely have found other series & be locked into contracts. The shows are done.

Yeah, how dare Disney not follow their family-friendly entertainment business model that has been one of the reasons they've become a global juggernaut after almost 100 years of being in existence.

Internet fans are angry, Disney! You'll be ruined!

Yeah because you totally can't widen your audience to include more mature subject matter for older audiences... because a company can only target one audience forever.

Have they really followed family-friendly entertainment for the last few years I remember when Disney was like HBO you had to pay to get on cable and mostly was their animated movies and series now it is live action shows some that lean to PC crap for young teens not saying I got issues with that but what is family friendly this days PG-13 movies with few profanities and action scenes without any blood?


Sorry but Disney has sister company Miramax for R-rated movies which means some of the Mature MCU Series and movies can still be done just not under Disney.

Touchstone calls bullshit on your theory.

And Disney is considering maybe to bring the Netflix MCU series back for another season on Hulu in 2020 and that is a big maybe so I would take this as just a rumor. So who cares about Disney+ when they own 60% of Hulu now especially Fox MCU heck Howard the Duck and other mature MCU shows are going to be made soon on Hulu than again this does not mean that the Defenders universe will return heck Disney might reboot everything from Netflix MCU.

Saw this coming a mile away. But it still sucks.

All the Netflix shows dusted

Neflix is being shitty cancelling every original that other studios have a stake in and continuing to raise prices- I hope some heads roll and they have to try to win subscribers over again for a change

Please do some research. The shows were costing Netflix tons of money, perhaps more than what they were bringing it. They looked to compromise on it by reducing the episode counts, but Disney refused that, so Netflix had no choice but to off them. It's also not a coincidence that this is all happening now. You think Disney is going to play ball with Netflix when they're planning to be a direct competitor to them?

Their subscriber growth is doing quite well by the way and they're turning out solid original programming all the time. Russian Doll, and Umbrella Academy this month alone are getting huge praise from critics and viewers.

Disney shows aren't the only ones affected- they are cancelling everything left and right that other studios have a stake in

Yeah they're gonna have to work hard to make that one happen because I'm out along with a few other friends of mine. Cancel the Marvel series and you've cancelled my subscription for me, right when I finished Punisher S2.
