The Defenders are on their way to Disney Plus, but there’s a catch.
While all of the various Marvel Netflix series will hit the platform on March 16th, they’ll arrive with parental controls, given their mature subject matter. Before we dive into that, though, check out the Tweet below for confirmation of their debut on the platform.

As for those aforementioned parental controls, as ComicBook.com explains it:
Parents will be able to set rating restrictions for each profile, and be able to add PINs to lock profiles, controls that have previously been tested extensively on international versions of the app.
Once the shows are added on March 16th, users will be asked to update their parental controls. That’s when users will be able to choose the option to display TV-MA content on their profiles. If a user doesn’t choose to update, they’ll continue serving TV-14 content. After that, users will have to go into their settings to make sure the TV-MA content is displayed.
Sounds like a solid solution for how to handle their arrival and no doubt many Disney Plus users will be spending the last few weeks of March re-watching the Defenders efforts.
