Late this afternoon, Disney announced that all its movies would be pulled from Netflix in 2019 as they will be starting their own streaming service.

As Disney owns Marvel and ABC, this of course worried Daredevil fans who believed the show would be part of content being removed from Netflix...
However...
"But Iger told CNBC's Julia Boorstin on "Closing Bell" that Marvel shows will stay on Netflix." https://t.co/YuvRs1PzHo

So for now, Daredevil and all the Defenders shows appear to be safe as they are produced with Netflix... but what happens in 2019? Right now the agreement with Netflix is guaranteed for 135 episodes (Jessica Jones S2, Luke Cage S2, Daredevil S3, Iron Fist S2, Punisher S1, Defenders all are coming...).
Could Marvel decide to end the agreement after these seasons are done? Will they move them to their own service? Would they even want this non-kid-friendly content on their streaming service?
Lots of questions remain, but for now, Marvel's agreement with Netflix is intact and the shows will continue... but for how long?
