Last month, we brought you some BTS snaps from the season 2 set of Marvel and Netflix's Luke Cage which led to speculation that Lucy Liu (Kill Bill, Charlie's Angels) may have ether been cast in a role on the show, or was in line to direct an episode.

Turns out it was the latter, as Marvel officially confirms that Liu will helm the season 2 premiere in the press release below:


Marvel Television and Netflix announced that multiple award-winning actress and director, Lucy Liu (“Elementary,” Graceland”) is directing the premiere episode of the second season of the Netflix original series “Marvel’s Luke Cage,” set to premiere in 2018. All 13-episodes of the first season of “Marvel’s Luke Cage” are now streaming on Netflix.

In addition to a slew of television and film credits, Liu made her directorial debut in 2011’s short film, Meena and also directed four episodes of the CBS series, “Elementary.”

“What a thrill to collaborate with Marvel and Netflix, two industry titans, who paint our world with inspiring stories and beguiling characters,” added Liu. “It is such an honor to work with such a passionate and fearless team.”

@NinnesMBC - I'm kind of happy for this. Luke Cage was very bland for me. Hopefully Lucy can bring some flare it needs.
