Marvel's Netflix deal.

Following the disastrous 2003 Daredevil film Fox decided not to make another film allowing the rights to the character revert back to Marvel. In 2013 Marvel decided instead of making another Daredevil film they'd make a mini-series available for streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon prime but Netflix bought the rights to stream the show. Marvel was excited for the show because it allowed them to explore the darker aspects of the Marvel universe. Daredevil was an instant hit on Netflix causing Marvel and Netflix to order 4 more series, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and the Defenders.
