Netflix VP Offers A LUKE CAGE Season 3 Update And Says DAREDEVIL Season 3 Is A "Return To Form"
Netflix's Vice President of original content Cindy Holland has shared some insight into the future of both Daredevil and Luke Cage, while teasing plans for more Marvel spinoffs on the streaming service...
Over the weekend, Netflix attended the Television Critics Association press tour and the subject of Marvel understandably came up. Asked about what comes next for Luke Cage after that stellar second season, Netflix's Vice President of original content Cindy Holland said that "We haven’t made any firm decisions yet" in regards to renewing the series (which actually seems like a pretty odd decision).
Despite that, Deadline notes that a writers room is currently working on a third season so the online streaming service could just be waiting to see what viewership numbers are before making a decision.
As for Daredevil, it sounds like the planned third season will return the series to its roots after a messy second year which put more of the spotlight on The Punisher and Elektra rather than the Man Without Fear. "The biggest issue was the timing of production and launching of The Defenders because what that meant is we had to shut down all of the shows, so all the actors be available for The Defenders so it’s more function of that," Holland said in regards to why it doesn't have an air date quite yet.
"There is no problem with this season, I think it’s fantastic, it’s real return to form in my view."
We recently heard that any future Marvel TV shows will air on Disney's planned streaming service but it sounds like Netflix is still mulling over the possibility of spinoffs set in the world of The Defenders.
