In the age of Orange Is the New Black, House of Cards, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, it’s hard to remember that Netflix made its name peddling other studios’ content. In recent years, the streaming service has embarked on a strong original-content push, but a deal that was struck three and a half years ago with Disney is set to kick in this September, bringing all of the latest films from the House of Mouse to anyone with a Netflix subscription. The deal starts with Disney’s 2016 slate.

Unfortunately, Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a 2015 release, so it will not live on Netflix, Variety reports; it will go to Starz instead. But Star Wars: Rogue One, starring Felicity Jones, will be on Netflix following its release in December. Also included in this deal, which Netflix reminded the world of in a summer-focused press release, are the 2016 blockbusters Captain America: Civil War and Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book, and upcoming releases Alice Through the Looking Glass, Finding Dory, The BFG, Doctor Strange, and more. (The deal covers Disney, Lucasfilm, Marvel, and Pixar.)

“The 2016 releases will start rolling on in September and we’ll share specific dates/titles closer to their premiere on the service,” a Netflix rep told Variety.

Unfortunately, this comes with some sad news, too: while new releases will be hitting Netflix, the streaming site will also be losing some (but not all) of its classic titles starting in June. That includes Hercules, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and its sequel, and Mulan. Never fear, though—The Emperor’s New Groove, Tarzan, and a couple others will remain.
