Following the cancellation of Luke Cage and Iron Fist, Netflix has decided to axe Daredevil. But according to Deadline, who initially broke the story, the titular character isn't necessarily out of the picture. Netflix said that "the Daredevil character will live on in future projects for Marvel," while Deadline's sources seem to think he could pop up on the Disney+ streaming platform. The same sources claim that Jessica Jones and the The Punisher "are still currently scheduled to run on Netflix as planned."
Overall, the cancellation of the series starring Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio, who had been tweeting about a fourth season in the past few weeks, shows just how strained relations between Netflix and the Jeph Loeb run Marvel TV have become. A far cry from when their multi-series deal was first announced back in 2013 with big smiles and almost bigger plans. The current state of affairs became painfully evident when the SVOD player abruptly pulled the plug on a third season of Luke Cage last month. One week after Iron Fist was pink slipped, that October 19 cancellation of Harlem’s Hero came after the nearly half scripts had been written for a Season 3 and a formal renewal had been considered a foregone conclusion.
