If you head on to Netflix now and play an episode from any of The Defenders-centric series, you’ll be met by an incredibly quick message that says: “This show is available until 1st March.” While we’ve only been able to check in the UK for now, it appears to be the case in other regions. We’ve reached out to Netflix for comment and will update this article when we hear more.

It marks the end of an era for Marvel fans. 2015 saw the arrival of the hugely popular Daredevil, starring Charlie Cox as The Man Without Fear. From there, the streamer introduced Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Punisher in their own standalone series – and eventually formed The Defenders.

No word yet on where (if anywhere) the former Netflix shows are heading next. The smart money would be on Disney Plus in regions where adult content plays on the streamer under the ‘Star’ category of assorted movies and shows, while Hulu is a potential destination in the US.

The future could still be bright for The Defenders – at least for some in the MCU. Charlie Cox is back as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, returning in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Kingpin actor Vincent D’Onofrio made a surprise return in Hawkeye and told GamesRadar+ that the Disney Plus series and Daredevil exist as part of the same canon.

Speaking in a video for Supernova Comic Con, Cox said, “To be asked to come back and be involved in any capacity is absolutely thrilling to me… I hope I get to do loads more for many years. I hope it never ends.”

While Cox admitted he “doesn’t know what [Marvel]’s plans are”, he pointed to Marvel Studios’ propensity for crossovers compared to its Netflix series counterparts as a major hook.

“I can now interact with other MCU characters,” Cox said. “That would be really cool. Crossovers would be really cool… I don’t know what that looks like and what they’re planning, but there are some really interesting stories there that I’d love the character to explore.”

One path The Man Without Fear could go down is locking horns with long-time nemesis Kingpin. The Netflix-Daredevil version of that character, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, is folded into the MCU thanks to Hawkeye and is bringing their Netflix history with him.

“They’re trying their best to keep Daredevil as part of the canon,” D’Onofrio told us in a recent interview. “Hawkeye is part of the canon of what we did at Daredevil.” 

“It’s not always going to be 100%. There’s a lot of connecting the dots which Marvel is really good at. There’s certain things we can and can’t [do], especially if we make changes to his strength like we have. I’m approaching it as if it’s after the Blip, everybody’s returned, and it’s the same emotionally and character-wise. I play him exactly the way he was in Daredevil.”
