Allowing TV14 content such as the Defenders-related shows on Disney+ would allow for Disney to move the rest of the Marvel-related movies that are solely on Hulu to Disney+. Many fans consider it a part of the MCU and would like to see it on Disney+ in full marathons.
Fans have been clamoring for the series to be added to Disney+ since the streaming service's inception, but licensing deals have prevented the show from finding a permanent home on Disney+. There was no information on when or where those shows would be made available to fans in the USA. With the new parental controls that the streaming service is implementing, even future seasons of more violent shows like Punisher can stay together with the rest of Marvel's programming rather than being put on the more adult Hulu service.
It means that Disney's movies can be moved to Disney+ and stored in one place, rather than having them on Disney+ and Hulu. All of the Defenders shows will be added to Disney+ on March 16. Disney's more adult content, such as movies from Fox and Touchstone, could be added to Disney+ behind parental controls. It will be easier for fans to watch everything in one place if the rumors are true that new shows involving the Defenders are coming.
Disney will be updating their Parental Controls for Disney+ on March 16. It will be easier to bring those characters into the MCU if the show is available on Disney+. When it was announced that Daredevil and related shows would be leaving the streaming service at the end of February, people wondered where those shows would end up. To watch content that is rated higher than TV14, subscribers will need to update their parental controls. There are rumors that members of the Agents of SHIELD cast may show up in the future.
This is the first step towards new productions of those characters. On that day, a pop up will allow subscribers to do so. The parental controls will have to be set for each profile. Disney will have more flexibility in the future. They can watch Disney+ as usual.
