New Netflix Data Points To DAREDEVIL And JESSICA JONES Also Potentially Being At Risk

A new report claims to shed some light on why Netflix decided to cancel both Iron Fist and Luke Cage, and it appears as if the other Marvel TV shows on the streaming service could be next to be axed...

Season three of Daredevil has received rave reviews but, for the most part, so did Luke Cage season two and now that show has been cancelled. So, should we be worried? Well, Business Insider has the scoop on statistics which they believe shed some light on why Netflix decided to cancel both Luke Cage and Iron Fist despite their perceived popularity.

Based on what they've seen, it's said that Daredevil and Jessica Jones could both be in trouble because posts on Twitter and Instagram plummeted after each shows' respective first seasons. 

We don't know how Netflix gauges viewing figures but those have presumably also dropped and if social media is that big of a deal to the online streaming giant, then it's easy to see why the Heroes for Hire were axed. Apparently, while Luke Cage season one generated 300,000 impressions, season two managed a paltry 50,000. Surely, though, this could be blamed on the poor marketing campaign?


We didn't even know Daredevil season three was coming until roughly a month or so ago so it's no wonder that awareness was down (in regards to the Man Without Fear, season one generated 275,000 impressions, season two did 200,000, and season three is only on 75,000 as of right now).

For now, it seems we'll have to keep everything crossed that Daredevil doesn't get cancelled too!

Netflix cares about subscribers, they know people at least partly subscribe because of Marvel shows.

Tweets, even viewers, are secondary

@ossie85

A very small fraction of Netflix subscribers subscribe because of Marvel TV.

@regularmovieguy - that’s definitely the only reason I have it, I can always pirate black mirror but I want the Marvel stuff in HD as soon as possible on my phone so I still have Netflix, and I know I’m one of a few that I know personally. My aunt only has it for the Marvel shows and Agents of Shield when it goes up

@DarkeyeZ - well given that literally everyone has Netflix... and only a fraction of people like comics....

That’s kinda common sense

@BloodyBed - Well, in its defense, the Netflix shows are nothing like the comics. Except maybe JJ, but I hate Bendis and that comic has never interested me, just like everything from Marvel after 1990.

Luke cage got cancelled because the scripts coming in for season 3 were shit, and instead of Netflix shuffling people around to fix the problem they just axed it.
Iron Fist got cancelled because it was a weak show, even though the second season was better audiences didn't really respond well to it which sounds to line up more with this I suppose.

@BritishMonkey - im just hoping they maintain daredevil for one more season so we get some more bullseye action. And maybe a close to the jessica jones ending where she and trish split up. Im ok with not continuing luke cage as i feel the ending doesnt give a lot of avenues for stories and i kinda celebrated iron fist getting the axe.

@Origame - I agree, I need one more season to end it all and then the snap happens.

@RocknRolla - Netflix should just do one more Defenders season with the Bullseye/Daredevil feud and end it with thesnap. .

I think created a series starring Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Colleen Wing and Misty would do pretty good with the right marketing. I think this is also the case for a series with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Elektra and the Punisher and maybe a bunch of newcomers like shang-chi (since there were plans for a movie with this guy)

@MalseMarcel - the problem with Luke Cage is they were trying to push an agenda the entire time and people frankly are probably getting sick of that. I know I am
