Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and all of Netflix's other Marvel TV shows will no longer be available on the streaming service from the beginning of March.
IGN can verify that Netflix's Marvel TV shows are all now prefaced with a removal notice, which states that "this show is available until 1st March." This brief warning is presented at the beginning of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Punisher, Iron Fist, and The Defenders, leaving a window of just a few weeks before these titles are removed from the streamer.
IGN's screenshot (above) shows the pop-up message at the beginning of the first season of Marvel's Jessica Jones, on an episode titled "AKA Ladies Night," though no official announcement about the removal of the shows has been made by Netflix as of yet. As such, there has also been no word on where these shows might be heading next, if anywhere.
In 2013, Marvel and Netflix announced a deal that would create a mini Marvel universe on Netflix based on The Defenders. This included original shows starring Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. Later, a Punisher spinoff was also created and released on Netflix as well as a team-up series for The Defenders.
However, this deal effectively ended in 2019 when Netflix announced that it would be cancelling the remainder of its Marvel shows, possibly in light of the news that Marvel was pursuing its own original television programming, with shows like WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, on the then newly-announced Disney+ streaming service.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Spider-Man: No Way Home and the Hawkeye series.
Last year, Marvel regained the live-action rights to Jessica Jones and The Punisher from Netflix, meaning that all of the Marvel characters Netflix previously held the live-action rights to, including Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, reverted back to Marvel and opened the door for some of those characters to appear in MCU projects.
Just recently, Charlie Cox reprised his role as Matt Murdock for a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home, while Vincent D'Onofrio made an appearance as Kingpin in the Disney+ show Hawkeye. There hasn't been any news concerning the return of other characters from Netflix's Marvel shows, but Cox believes there's more Daredevil and Kingpin in the MCU's future.
