Netflix announced the cancellation of Daredevil after just three seasons. It was highly successful, well rated, and critically acclaimed. So, of course it was cancelled.

From what I read, it had more to do with corporate positioning. Disney is getting more into content streaming, and doesn’t want its properties contributing to competing services. But who knows? I wasn’t fussed at all about Luke Cage going, and The Iron Fist cancellation didn’t bother me much. This bothered me though. Daredevil was a great show with the right mix of action, grit, and hopeful outlook. Now all that’s left is Jessica Jones and The Punisher , and I don’t expect them to last long.

Meanwhile, they remake Spiderman 15 different times in the last 5 years or something. Sheesh.

If they end Jessica Jones I’ll be quite unhappy.

It’s a Disney vs Netflix thing, has nothing to do with the show itself.

Yeah, there’s no surprise in this. It was a known thing when the shows started that the contract with Netflix was only until 2019 and that Disney would be taking things in house after that. Though If I recall I was thinking there would be at least 4 seasons of Daredevil since it came out first.

Okay, I had to LOL at that.

Yeah, she’s a little too dark to watch when I’m feeling down, but the show is great. I’m looking forward to more episodes.

Yes, I read that. There is speculation Disney might continue it in their own stream, but Netflix holds rights to the shows for two more years. I read that Marvel was stunned to hear of the cancellation. It’s not a creative issue. It’s all about money.

They already had the season arc in the board and were getting ready for Spring shooting. The problem with taking the show in house at Disney is they contractually can’t for two more years, by which time the cast and production team will be doing other things.

Agreed. DD was the best thing on Netflix ( by far).

If I get another Punisher season I'll be okay

I’ll watch it tool  But at this point, nothing seems safe.  They could cancel it a couple months after shooting the way things are going. :|
