Another Popular Netflix Series Has Just Been Canceled
On the heels of several other Netflix cancellations, it appears Harlem’s beloved hero is now out of a job.
Yesterday, it was revealed that ‘Luke Cage’ will not appear on the streaming service for a third season.
The news comes as a bit of a surprise considering all indications pointed towards the show being renewed for another season.
Marvel confirmed the news in a statement to Deadline.
Marvel added that they are extremely thankful to all the fans who watched the show during its first two seasons.
Apparently, Marvel and Netflix couldn’t come to an agreement regarding the direction of how the show should play out in season three.
Scripts for season three were written and submitted to Netflix for approval, however, the streaming service didn’t seem particularly interested in the storyline.
Marvel fans disappointed by the news of the ‘Luke Cage’ cancellation will undoubtedly be clinging to the three remaining Marvel shows still on Netflix, ‘Jessica Jones,’ ‘The Punisher,’ and ‘Daredevil.’
Naturally, fans reacted to the unexpected cancellation and are not happy about the news.
I wonder what's the excuse for this cancellation? I get Iron Fist, despite enjoying that series do to it was the least popular series in the bunch of Marvel shows on Netflix. This decision makes no sense at all. #LukeCage pic.twitter.com/cgfDlbDaw8
