Don’t expect a second season of ‘The Defenders’ anytime soon

Perhaps the low numbers The Defenders has pulled in terms of viewership has dissuaded Marvel and Netflix from making another season. But Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb has said during a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” session that it’s “not in the plans right now, but you never know!” The show is labeled as a “limited series” on Netflix and had eight for its first season, which started streaming last August.

While we might not see the superheroes together, Marvel and Netflix has since dropped the first season of The Punisher and the second season of Jessica Jones. Luke Cage’s second season is coming this month, while Iron Fist season two is coming in late 2018. Daredevil’s third season is also coming later this year.

We might not see Rosario Dawson in Marvel TV universe soon

 

For followers of the MCU x Netflix Marvel shows, you know how instrumental Rosario Dawson’s character Claire Temple has been for this universe. She has been described as the glue that’s kept the different vigilantes turned superheroes in the Marvel TV universe. We get to see her again with Luke Cage premieres next month (on June 22, to be exact) but it looks like Dawson is ready to call it quits. She told Screen Geek, “Yeah, its [sic] pretty wild actually. I don’t know if I’ll be back after this, to be honest, but it’s been an amazing few years. I’ve been on a lot of different shows. I mean, I don’t know if maybe they do a third season of Luke Cage potentially, or maybe if they figure out some kind of way for me to be on The Punisher—just so I can feel like I’ve done every show. But it’s been like, my daughter is high school, so I kinda wanna’ not be 3000 miles away for work.”

We won’t fault her for wanting to take a break, especially after appearing on most of the Netflix Marvel shows. And perhaps with The Defenders finally in contact with each other, there would be less need for Claire to be around. It’ll give the actress time for her family. Let’s just hope Marvel doesn’t pull an Infinity War on us and do anything too drastic.

Marvel ‘Inhumans’ to get a TV series

While Marvel Inhumans doesn’t look like it’s getting its movie back, there is a TV show in the works. Marvel Television, ABC, and IMAX are partnering for The Inhumans TV show. Of course, the show will be based on the comic book characters made by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. It’ll tell the tale of Inhuman king Black Bolt and members of his royal family. It hasn’t been announced if the Inhuman characters introduced in Marvel and ABC’s Agents of SHIELD will cross over in the series but we won’t be surprised if they do.

Under this new partnership, IMAX will exclusively premiere the first two episodes in theaters worldwide for two weeks in September 2017 before it debuts on ABC in the fall. The first two episodes will be filmed entirely with IMAX digital cameras. There is no word yet who will write and produce the new Inhumans series but we should get word at a later date. The Inhumans mark the first time a live-action TV series will debut in IMAX theaters.
