The streaming service Disney+ will become more adult Wednesday with a host of new mature shows.
But the platform plans to add new parental controls to keep things family-friendly.
On Wednesday, Disney+ will debut Marvel live-action series titles that were previously available on Netflix. These shows — which are for mature audiences — include:
- “Daredevil”
- “Jessica Jones”
- “Luke Cage”
- “Iron Fist”
- “The Defenders”
- “The Punisher”
- “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
But Disney+ plans to add new parental controls, too, so that families don’t have to worry about their child stumbling upon mature content.
To be fair, Disney+ already has a number of options for parental controls. Visit the Disney+ website for more information and scroll down for more details.
