FX-produced Hulu series Under the Banner of Heaven, starring Andrew Garfield, and season 1 of British comedy series Extraordinary are set to come to U.K. TV giant ITV’s streamer ITVX in 2024 under a deal with Disney Entertainment.

ITV said on Thursday that Under the Banner of Heaven will  stream on ITVX, with Extraordinary airing on both ITVX and ITV2. Both will launch in the first half of next year.

Both series will continue to be available on Disney+, with Extraordinary season 2 coming to the platform in early 2024.

The news comes as Disney, led by CEO Bob Iger, has started looking for additional revenue by licensing some shows instead of keeping them exclusively for its own streaming services.

Under the Banner of Heaven, created by Academy Award winner Dustin Lance Black and starring Garfield and Daisy Edgar-Jones, is inspired by the true crime bestseller by Jon Krakauer and follows the events that led to the 1984 murder of Brenda Wright Lafferty (Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter in a suburb in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah.

Comedy Extraordinary, a Disney+ U.K. original production, is written by creator and co-executive producer Emma Moran and executive produced by Sally Woodward Gentle (Killing Eve, The Durrells), Lee Morris and Charles Dawson. It is set in a world where everyone develops a power on their 18th birthday, except for Jen, portrayed by Máiréad Tyers. It also stars Sofia Oxenham, Bilal Hasna, Luke Rollason and Siobhán McSweeney.

The Disney content deal was negotiated by ITV head of content acquisitions Sasha Breslau. ITVX launched in late 2022.
