Disney opens a three-month Netflix window for Percy Jackson and Ice Age

A Disney+ original is heading to Netflix—but only for a short stay. The first two seasons of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” will become available worldwide on Netflix on October 4 for three months. The move is part of a broader agreement covering Disney-owned movies and television series, according to Khaleej Times, which reported that the companies announced the deal on Friday.

The package also includes the five existing “Ice Age” films and the series “Will Trent”. It gives Netflix more Disney-owned programming to offer its viewers through licensing: an arrangement that allows a platform to carry another company’s content. The announcement sets out specific viewing windows for some titles, rather than a single release schedule for everything in the package. The source does not give a Netflix launch date or availability window for “Will Trent”.

A short stay for familiar titles

For “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”, the agreement creates a defined opportunity to watch the Disney+ original on another streaming service. Both of its first two seasons are included in the same three-month global window. That makes October 4 the key date for Netflix viewers interested in the series, but the limited duration is just as important: the announced access is temporary, not an open-ended addition to the platform’s library.

The five “Ice Age” movies will likewise be available globally on Netflix for three months. Their streaming run comes before the theatrical release of “Ice Age: Boiling Point”, which is due early next year. Unlike the “Percy Jackson” window, the source does not specify when the five films will start streaming. The agreement therefore links access to the existing films with the period ahead of the next cinema release, without providing a complete calendar.

A further part of the package reaches into early 2027. Selected Disney and Pixar movies, including “Soul”, “Elio” and “Raya and the Last Dragon”, are set to begin appearing on Netflix from that period. The reported rollout has global reach, but launch dates and regional availability will vary. Viewers should not read the list as a promise that every named film will arrive everywhere on the same day.

More licensing, with limits

For Netflix, the deal continues an expansion of its library through agreements with other content owners. Khaleej Times cited its July agreement with AMC Global Media to bring “The Walking Dead” to the service as another example. The Disney package adds films and series to that licensing push, with access shaped by the individual titles, territories and viewing periods described in the announcement.

Disney, meanwhile, drew a boundary around the arrangement. According to the company, most Disney-branded titles continue to be exclusive to its own streaming platforms and television channels.

Most Disney-branded titles remain exclusive to Disney’s streaming services and TV channels, according to the company.

The next dates to watch are the October 4 arrival of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” and the film rollout beginning in early 2027. For the “Ice Age” collection and other selected titles, the remaining detail to watch is the viewing schedule, including when access opens and which regions are covered.
