LUKE CAGE Showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker Reveals Episode Titles For Netflix's Scrapped Season 3

Luke Cage was among the Marvel TV shows cancelled by Netflix when Disney+ was launched and showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker has now shared the episode title for what would have been a 13-part third season...

When Disney decided that Marvel Studios would take charge of Marvel Television for its new streaming platform, the TV shows which originated on Netflix were quickly cancelled. That meant Luke Cage wrapped up after just two seasons with a major cliffhanger which saw Power Man become the new Kingpin of Crime in Harlem.

Cage did briefly appear in the third and final season of Jessica Jones to offer the P.I. some friendly advice, but that did little to offer any sort of closure for the character.

The decision to take the hero down what appeared to be a villainous route was not well-received by fans. However, we've long had good reason to believe a twist might have been coming or that Luke would soon realise attempting to control crime wasn't as simple as fighting it. 

Luke Cage showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker has today taken to X to reveal the episode titles for season 3. They don't reveal much, unfortunately, though it's probably safe to assume that Power Man is the one who'd become "Public Enemy #1."

Mike Colter has made it clear he's done with the role and, thus far, we've seen nothing to suggest Marvel Studios has any plans for the character either in Daredevil: Born Again or any other MCU movies or TV shows.

Way back in 2021, the actor said this about where he'd have liked to see Luke Cage go next:

"There were so many places we could have taken it. There’s obviously the Alias series where Jessica and Luke had a child and had this adult life they were trying to live, and there’s this moment where they are working out their blue collar, making ends meet life together, which is very interesting. There’s the journey that Luke had in his own series with Harlem’s Paradise, where he’s taken over the club, and is he gonna be a bad guy or a guy that is on the other side of the law, and who’s gonna stop him. That was another interesting thing to watch, with him maybe being a little gangster, and that would’ve been cool too."

"So, I don’t think there’s any closure to it, nor do I feel like we were able to get any of that closure by having the appearance in Jessica Jones, but it is what it is. It’s one of those things where we’ll just never know. There are a lot of shows that live in that space where it’s like, 'Oh, man!' It’s unfortunate, but that’s just one of the things that happens in television sometimes."

Do you think Netflix's Luke Cage deserves a revival under Marvel Studios' watch?

Season 3 had the potential to be the best one yet, such a shame that never got done. Would be nice seeing Colter back on the role, he wasn't bad.

"There’s obviously the Alias series where Jessica and Luke had a child and had this adult life they were trying to live..."

If they were gonna go down that path she would've gotten pregnant after that one night stand, like in the comics. But instead Luke went off to his own show and had different romantic entanglements, like Misty and Claire. Claire was his big love in the Netflix shows.

I liked the Luke Cage show, but maybe I would've liked it better if they called it Jake Cage, because he was the complete opposite of the character from the comics.

They should reboot this stuff and retcon Michelle Jones to be the MCU variant of Danni Cage.

Interesting titles.

Personally , I liked the ending of LC S2 (aswell as the season overall)….

We had seen Luke’s growing anger & frustration throughout the season not just because of the reemergence of his dad but also how he felt fighting crime wasn’t bringing much of any positive change to Harlem.

In his mind by taking over Harlem’s Paradise and becoming the new “ crime boss” in Harlem , he could atleast control the crime rather then keep fighting it which seemed like a never ending battle which set up an interesting conflict imo of whether this Luke could be corrupted or not (considering he had a good moral compass).

I wish we saw that journey in S3 but alas , wasn’t meant to be…

I did like the show overall and would be down to see Mike Colter in the role again!!.

Thought S3 could've been an interesting direction for the character, especially if it was used to introduce more members of the Marvel underworld.

I remember this starting out pretty well and then becoming sh*t. Cant hardly remember any details, besides some lame plasticky fight in one , possibly the first season finale. Like first 2-3 episodes being good, then it becoming a turd. That is still better than most of the Marvel/Disney shows that are a turd sandwich from the get go.

The villains should've been Gideon Mace and Warhawk. Maybe Mace would've been Cage superior officer when he was in the Marines and Warhawk went through the same process as Cage.

Season 1's first half was great, i liked it a lot.
The 2nd half was too over the top.

I liked the character and Mike Colter played him perfectly.

The story could have been more interesting, though.

Cool titles that likely were taken from songs as I remember was once explained back in Season 1.

I would like to see Season 3 someway, somehow. Things deserve to have a beginning, middle and a proper end.
