Marvel has announced that Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez will return as showrunners on Marvel’s The Defenders, while Drew Goddard will exec produce. They've also provided a brief logline for show show, but it doesn't reveal any plot details.

The Executive Producers and showrunners of Marvel’s Daredevil Season 2 will "unite the Man Without Fear with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist for the mini-series event bringing our heroes together to face their biggest threat yet."


“Doug and Marco captivated our members around the world with their continuation of the story of Matt Murdock in 'Marvel’s Daredevil,' and we can’t wait to see how they and Drew will introduce the full Defenders team to our global audience,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content.

“We're incredibly excited to be able to bring our four street level heroes together in an epic tale woven by Doug and Marco whose work on ‘Marvel’s Daredevil’ speaks for itself,” said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. "They write and produce not only great action and adventure, but also the heart and touch of humor that's makes us Marvel. With the inclusion of Drew Goddard, we've got a team that's as formidable as the Defenders themselves."

“This is the big one. Four amazing casts, four amazing series, now all in one amazing story,” said showrunners and Executive Producers Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez. “We are thrilled at the opportunity to deliver the show that both we and the fans have been waiting for.”

Marvel’s The Defenders will star Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Finn Jones, all reprising their roles as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, respectively.

So I'm confused.

Are they making this and putting Daredevil Season 3 on the back burner? I surely hope not!

@ENigmaShow - Daredevil Season 3 will come after. Have some patience.

The thought of Krysten Ritter in that outfit is ridiculous.

Nice to see Drew Goddard return as Executive Producer, and I hope this helps the two Daredevil showrunners to balance things out in terms of plot. The Punisher/Elektra storylines could've meshed together better.

And I liked the Hand designs better in Season 1. Nobu's outfit was cooler than anything that was shown in Season 2. If they do pursue an MCU adaptation of Shadowland, hopefully they up their game.
