Disney+ will add mature content tomorrow. Here’s how to set parental controls (2024)

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.
