Just a week after the cancellation of “Marvel’s Iron Fist” comes the news that “Marvel’s Luke Cage” also won’t return for another season. Marvel and Netflix said in joint statement “unfortunately, Marvel’s Luke Cage will not return for a third season”.
It does, however, mean that “Heroes for Hire” could now become it’s own series – the Marvel comic series features Iron Fist and Luke Cage as a duo…

Clearly setting up a #HeroesForHire show.
Hmm, is the start on Disney removing all their shows from Netflix for their own streaming service?
No because it’s not being moved, it’s straight up cancelled. Not enough people watched I guess.
“Marvel’s Luke Cage” as a series is cancelled. That doesn’t mean Luke Cage is leaving Netflix. Same for Iron Fist. As per the article is could be a case of ending the single shows to create Heroes for Hire with the 2 of them together.
I like the idea of Hero’s for Hire, the cross over episode in Luke cage was good and I’d like to see more of that.
Yeah it was boring. Only series worth watching are Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
Pete Wilson-Banks how can you say LC was boring but enjoyed JJ. I know people are into different things bit JJ series 2 was dire
Neil Evans yeah that’s true. Couldn’t get through JJ season 2. Season 1 was outstanding tho.
Punisher was really good too
Jessica Jones is massively underated, and I enjoyed both seasons
Andy Hall tbh I’ve enjoyed most just cant get through JJ season 2. Punisher has been my favourite though.
Neil Evans only 1 I’ve struggled with was season 2 of Cage
Why on earth?
Cee Leeya Okay Heroes for Hire?
I really enjoyed this, Daredevil will be next
Clem Fandango no chance Daredevil is being cancelled
Agree… didn’t enjoy either of these shows.
Ellis Gore
Damn it.
I enjoyed this, and Iron Fist just got really interesting with the last few episodes of season 2 as well.
Bit of a shame but with the empire buying up everything then it was always going to happen.
2 reasons for owning Netflix gone in a week, brutal.
not totally unsurprising.
I expect the next announcement is that The Defenders has also been canned.
Which leaves us with only three worthwhile series to continue; Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and The Punisher.
That’s a 50% success rate.
Netflix, you can do better. Much better.
We enjoyed LC, haven’t seen IF as everyone I’ve spoken about it says it’s the worst of the lot. 2nd Season Syndrome…
Tim Lovett…the Marvel meltdown gathers pace!!
Matt Chappell yup. All downhill from here!
Insane move. It was a really cool show. I don’t think Iron Fist had the charisma to last a third season but Cage had something unique. The music alone was perfect.
I think it’ll happen to the lot of them Disney has it own channel gonna prob pull all their content to their own platform
But Netflix have the rights to these characters so Disney will have to pay an awful lot of money to break the contract.
New On Netflix UK Disney have a whole lot of money
Ben Marchant-Williams True. However I’m not sure they’d want to be seen as a company that prematurely ends contracts and gets sued / pays out in order to have their series back in their hands. Pretty sure that would affect any potential future licensing deals in a negative way.
Either way chaps it’s a shame as cool show imo
will be a very sour christmas
Glad they finally came to their senses..
Jamie another one
Dead man Luke cage was actually alright
