Now that Marvel Studios may have made Netflix's Defenders projects canon, many aspects of the six shows in the franchise can now be integrated into the wider world of the MCU proper. Long before the days of Disney+ and Marvel Studios' own TV shows set in the MCU, Marvel Television developed several series that ran adjacent to the MCU's big-screen projects. While various networks took on Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter and Runaways, Netflix premiered six shows that were dubbed The Defenders Saga, including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders and The Punisher, and Marvel Studios may have officially made The Defenders Saga canon to the MCU.
