The Arrival of Lost, Prison Break, and 12 More Exciting Disney Shows on Netflix

Disney will now be making changes to its streaming strategy by adding all past seasons of Grey's Anatomy to Hulu, while still keeping the show available on Netflix. This change aligns with the planned launch of Hulu on Disney+ in March 2024. The decision comes as a part of a new licensing agreement between Disney Entertainment and Netflix, with both platforms sharing co-exclusive US streaming rights for the first 19 seasons of Grey's Anatomy starting in the spring of 2024. However, only Hulu will have the entire series, including the upcoming Season 20.

As part of a US content agreement, Disney Entertainment will non-exclusively license 14 library series to Netflix. This includes popular titles such as The Wonder Years, This is Us, and Lost, all owned by Disney. For the full list of announced titles and their respective release dates, please see below.

On February 1, 2025, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated during November's earnings call that Disney has no plans to license its "core brands" such as Disney-Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars to Netflix.

Editor's P/S

As a long-time fan of many of the shows mentioned in the article, I am thrilled about the arrival of Lost, Prison Break, and 12 other exciting Disney shows on Netflix. This is a great opportunity to revisit some of my favorite series and discover new ones that I may have missed. I appreciate Disney's efforts to make these shows available to a wider audience and look forward to streaming them on Netflix.

However, I am disappointed that Disney has no plans to license its "core brands" such as Disney-Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars to Netflix. I understand the importance of these franchises to Disney's streaming business, but I believe that making them available on Netflix would benefit both companies and provide fans with more options for streaming their favorite content. I hope that Disney will reconsider this decision in the future and allow Netflix to stream these popular franchises.
