The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) today announced a deal for Marvel TV to bring original series of live-action adventures of four of Marvel’s characters to the leading Internet TV Network beginning in 2015.

This agreement calls for Marvel to develop four serialized programs leading to a mini-series programming event.

Led by a series focused on “Daredevil,” followed by “Jessica Jones,” “Iron Fist” and “Luke Cage,” the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming.

It aims to take Netflix members into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell’s Kitchen, New York.
