Over the last several weeks, some of the cast from
Daredevil have spoken out about Netflix cancelling the critically acclaimed show. Now,
Deborah Ann Woll has shared her thoughts on the series' cancellation.
Speaking with
THR, Woll stated she and her castmates were confident throughout the press tour for Season 3 that they would do a Season 4. However, it was the cancellation of
Luke Cage that signaled to her something big was going on behind the scenes.
After the Iron Fist and Luke Cage cancellations, it was in the back of my mind. I knew we had a very, very strong season, and I was so proud of it. When we finished shooting and in the press leading up to it, we were all very confident that we'd do another one, because this is great and we've only just begun. But then when I heard that Luke got canceled, that was surprising to me. I really liked that show, and it obviously represents an underserved demographic, and that's an important thing. So if they were cutting that loose, then it really signaled to me that they were looking to make a change.
Woll went on to say that she was "
glad to know we didn't get canceled because we suck!" While she is sad about the cancellation, she does not have any hard feelings and is grateful for all she was able to accomplish over the years.
Fans do get to see Karen Page one last time during an episode of
The Punisher Season 2. Woll was excited to return to Karen and Frank's story, saying "
it's fun because its all ours, its not from the comics." She said that everything Karen went through in
Daredevil Season 3 with her past helps her mission to fight for her friend's innocence and soul, with Woll remarking "
I love that she chooses him."
If this is truly the end of her time playing Karen, then Woll is proud of the dimension
Daredevil and
The Punisher gave to her character, saying "
the fact that she could be tough and play right alongside the boys and never felt like deadweight was just a real privilege."
I feel great. The ending of this one, even though it's a little bittersweet — literally, I think my last line is "Goodbye!" I didn't know it at the time [that Daredevil would be canceled] so I didn't get to savor it in that way, but it is kind of fitting, whether I knew it or not. And for Frank and Karen, even though it ends with them going their separate ways and having made their choices, he did say that he loves Karen, and she was able to say that back. It felt great to do that. Am I also keeping my fingers crossed that someday, even if it's not as Frank and Karen, Jon and I will get to work together again? Absolutely.
