When Disney+ added the Marvel Defenders series to its catalog, they introduced the overlooked corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to new individuals. But unfortunately, for those who didn't listen to the shows when they aired, the order to watch the Defenders series can be confusing. Luckily, we have a simple guide with the correct timeline for Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , Iron Fist , The Punisher , and The Defenders .
Fans can now watch the Marvel Defenders series on Disney+
After Netflix announced that Marvel Defenders shows were leaving its streaming platform at the end of February 2022, fans became concerned about how they would watch them.
Disney was quick to allay everyone's concerns. Disney+ added Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luc Cage , Iron Fist , The Punisher and The Defenders to its library on March 16, 2022.
With the addition of the new shows came parental control features. The Marvel Defenders series might not be for some. For example, subscribers can set content rating restrictions for individual profiles to ban certain people from watching Defenders broadcasts.
In what order should you watch Marvel Defenders shows?
The order of watches in the Marvel Defenders series on Disney+ can seem complex. But if fans want to follow the exact timeline of this universe, they'll have to skip a bit from show to show. And there are crossovers between all the series. So watching just one show at a time could get confusing.
The chronological order to watch the Marvel Defenders series is:
- Daredevil Season 1
- Jessica Jones Season 1
- Daredevil Season 2
- Luke Cage Season 1
- Iron Fist Season 1
- The Defenders Season 1
- The Punisher Season 1
- Jessica Jones Season 2
- Luke Cage Season 2
- Iron Fist Season 2
- Daredevil Season 3
- The Punisher Season 2
- Jessica Jones Season 3
It is imperative to watch some of these seasons before embarking on other shows. For example, Jessica Jones features Luke Cage in its first season before Luke Cage Season 1. And Daredevil Season 2 features Frank Castle before he got his spinoff. But now that the Defenders saga is on Disney+, fans can watch all the shows in any order they choose.
Marvel and Disney Could Bring Back 'Daredevil'
Rumors have been swirling around the internet ever since Charlie Cox appeared in Spider-Man: No Homecoming that Daredevil would return for Season 4. And now that fans can watch all of the Defenders shows on Disney+ in the order, many are convinced that Daredevil is returning in some capacity.
A recent report in Production Weekly listed a “ Daredevil reboot. He detailed that the project includes Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and Marvel's Behind the Mask Chris Gary as producers. However, Marvel has not confirmed that this project is in the works.
So while fans are hoping Disney resurrects Daredevil , the company could be putting its own spin on the vigilante. Either way, we think many will be happy to have Matt Murdock and co. back on their screens.
Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luc Cage , Iron Fist , The Punisher and The Defenders are available to stream on Disney+.
